Time to Bum Again

(Harlan Howard)

Woman you get meaner every day

And your naggin' is hard to stand

So I'll pack my things and I'll be on my way

'Cause it's time to bum again.

This house gets smaller with every day

And the walls are closin' in

I guess I've said all there is to say

And it's time to bum again.

The time has come to bum again

I'm gonna see all the places I ain't been

Woman you've stirred up the wild, wild wind

And it's time to bum again.

--- Instrumental ---

I'll visit my buddy out in Bakersfield

We soldiered together years back

We'll talk night and day till there's no more to say

Then I'll head on down the track.

I may come back in a year or two

And you may not desire me then

There are some things that a man must do

And it's time to bum again.

The time has come to bum again

I'm gonna see all the places I ain't been

Woman you've stirred up the wild, wild wind

And it's time to bum again.

Woman you've stirred up the wild, wild wind

And it's time to bum again...
