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, I can sleep when I'm dead.

If there's something going on within a hundred miles of home
You're gonna hear my V8 sing.
Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane
Baby I ain't gonna miss a thing.
Life' 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 rest, I can sleep when I'm dead.

If there's something going on within a hundred miles of home
You're gonna hear my V8 sing.
Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane
Baby I ain't gonna miss a thing.
Life' 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 I can say to that is that it hasn't happened yet.

If there's something going on within a hundred miles of home
You're gonna hear my V8 sing.
Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane
Baby I ain't gonna miss a thing.
Life' 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.

And I ain't tired yet.
