lyrics

he's a three-piece man with a well-placed hand
he withdrew $100 from the ATM
and he bought his wife a nice bottle of wine
and he bought his wife with a bottle of wine
and when he smokes a cigar you know he takes his time
and he makes his calls while he's standing in line
and his mistress knows he's a case and a half
no one knows when he's crying or trying to laugh

o-oh no
might as well go
if you all want to that sounds good to me
we'll take a lifelong trip to Abilene

well i fought my way through a herd of moose
and i tightened some screws that i heard were loose
but my license expired and now my shrink has retired
and my mind's on strike until she gets rehired
as a CEO with a knee-deep wage
and a VIP spot when the lot gets paved
well if that's all it takes my dear, why didn't you just say?
we've got lots of options in a state of disarray
don't we?

o-oh no
might as well go
if you all want to that sounds good to me

better better
yep it could be better but it
it could always be worse my friend
if you're not accelerating you're just procrastinating and you
might as well take a lifelong trip to Abilene
