I got a little game that I play And I call it 'try to beat the morning paper home' I ain't very good but I get a lot of practice Even won once a month ago Of course there was a girl involved that wasn't gonna let me rest But I've always said that I can sleep when I'm dead If there's somethin' goin' on within a hundred miles from home You're gonna hear my V-8 sing Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet Like I said, I can sleep when I'm dead It ain't no fun if you ain't got money So I always make it in to work The trick is to leave at least a half an hour To brush my teeth and change my shirt Keep a closet full of Red Bull and Visine to hide the red I don't need the rest, I can sleep when I'm dead If there's somethin' goin' on within a hundred miles from home You're gonna hear my V-8 sing Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet Like I said, I can sleep when I'm dead When I get tired, I'll go to bed All that I can say is that it hasn't happened yet If there's somethin' goin' on within a hundred miles from home You're gonna hear my V-8 sing Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet Like I said, like I said, like I said I can sleep when I'm dead I ain't even tired yet
