I'll Sleep When I'm Dead — Warren Zevon

written by Warren Zevon 1976 Zevon Music BMI

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm I'll sleep when I'm dead Saturday night I like to raise a little harm I'll sleep when I'm dead

I'm drinking heartbreak motor oil and Bombay gin I'll sleep when I'm dead Straight from the bottle, twisted again I'll sleep when I'm dead

Well, I take this medicine as prescribed I'll sleep when I'm dead It don't matter if I get a little tired I'll sleep when I'm dead

I've got a .38 special up on the shelf I'll sleep when I'm dead If I start acting stupid I'll shoot myself I'll sleep when I'm dead

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm I'll sleep when I'm dead Saturday night I like to raise a little harm I'll sleep when I'm dead
