Lyrics

I Don’t Wanna Go to Bed
(McCallion)

A girl and a boy in a pickup laughing
She’s at the age when things are supposed to happen
A sixteen-year-old Suzie, sucking on a straw
Looks at her man, says is that all
Well you ain’t shown me anything that I won’t soon forget
And I don’t wanna go to bed, ain’t nothin’ happened yet

Gin and tonics, he’s had too many
Looks at his girl says have you got a twenty
One more hand of blackjack and this’ll be my night
And I’ll do my part, I’ll make things right
So hand it over baby doll ‘cause this is your last bet
And I don’t wanna go to bed, ain’t nothin’ happened yet

Rose bouquet, wedding band
Their recipe for romance could’ve come out of a can
Standing by the door, he asks where she’ll be
And she don’t say much, hands him the key
You know there ain’t no kind of dream without some kind of debt
And I don’t wanna go to bed, ain't nothin’ happened yet

Daddy lay a’ dying in a clinic downtown
It’d been ‘bout a year since he could get around
He said I been working for such a long time
With nothing in my hands, everything on my mind
I used to always pray that I would die without regret
But I don’t wanna go to bed, ain’t nothin’ happened yet

Well isn’t it hard to be healthy when you’re poor
So twist off that cap, pour me some more
And sit here beside me, and we’ll have a dram
To give me the strength to show the fool I am
I seem to have less patience with the older that I get
And I don’t wanna go to bed, ain’t nothin’ happened yet
