(JOE WALSH, JOHN DAVID SOUTHER)
I LIKE TO GO OUT EVERY NOW AND THEN
I CAN’T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN
BUT I HAVEN’T HAD THE TIME – LATELY
I LIKE TO STEP OUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE
I KINDA LIKE TO DO IT IN STYLE
I HAVEN’T HAD THE TIME – LATELY
LATELY I’VE BEEN STAYIN’ AT HOME
WORKIN’ THE CROSSWORDS, TURN OFF THE PHONE
AND I DREAM I’M ON VACATION,
‘CAUSE I LIKE THE WAY THAT SOUNDS
IT’S A PERFECT OCCUPATION FOR ME
I DON’T MIND BEIN’ BY MYSELF IF THERE’S NO ONE ELSE AROUND
IT’S THE LAST GOOD TIME IN TOWN
WELL, I COULD STAND UP STRAIGHT – GET A REAL JOB
STAY OUT LATE WITH THE SAME OLD MOB
BUT IT HASN’T CROSSED MY MIND – LATELY
PUT ON A SUIT – WORK DOWNTOWN
MOON COME UP AND THE SUN GO DOWN
NO, I HAVEN’T HAD THE TIME – LATELY
LATELY I’VE BEEN STAYIN’ AT HOME;
CLOSIN’ THE CURTAINS,
PLAY JAZZ ON TROMBONE
AND I DREAM I’M ON VACATION,
THOUGH YOU WON’T SEE ME AROUND
IT’S A PERFECT SITUATION FOR ME
I DON’T MIND BEIN’ BY MYSELF,
‘CAUSE I KNOW YOU’LL COME ON DOWN
IT’S THE LAST GOOD TIME IN TOWN
LATELY I’VE BEEN STAYIN’ AT HOME;
WORKIN’ THE CROSSWORDS,
TURN OFF THE PHONE
AND I DREAM I’M ON VACATION,
‘CAUSE I LIKE THE WAY THAT SOUNDS
IT’S A PERFECT OCCUPATION FOR ME
I DON’T MIND BEIN’ BY MYSELF
– IF YOU DON’T SEE ME AROUND
IT’S THE LAST GOOD TIME
– LAST GOOD TIME IN TOWN
