Audio of WZ performing I'll Sleep When I'm Dead from the Main Line in Philadelphia -1976

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

  • My dad used to say that about me in my late teens.But not in the same context now I like my sleep ,I sleep whenever I can. Before I die from sleep deprivation.

  • "I take this medicine as prescribed".......lol Love this one!! Raise a little harm!! Love ya W.Z. Thanks. : )

  • yippee were all gonna get some rest

  • Good night.

  • Warren was fond of collecting guns. Unfortunately, he often used his firearms while intoxicated. Thankfully, nobody was harmed, but wife Crystal reported there were holes in the walls of their house ...

  • Great song! Great book too! A must read for fans.

  • One of my favorite lines in music ever: "I've got a .38 special up on the shelf, if I start acting stupid I'll shoot myself"

  • God I love Warren's music.
