Naked With Your Clothes On (Original)

Here ya go! Tell me what you think. Another one with low recording quality.

oh funny how the sun don't shine
when you're with your face down in the gutter
you start laughing when you really want to cry
and funny how the president misses every try
of telling people it'll all be better
somewhere around on the 4th of july
and you're naked with your clothes on
baby you're naked with your clothes on

Well lately I've been working so hard
I've worn out all my sweat to tears
you never know where the money goes anyhow
and I say hey boss it's about time
I get some time off or I might as well
drop dead into my cold grave tonight
and you're naked with your clothes on
baby you're naked with your clothes on

I talk to my buddy way up north
Time's been tough in every way
sometimes it's hard to figure out even what words to say
He's got a daughter, she's almost six
you gotta see how perfectly they fit
and how good she is on the trampoline in those front flips
and you're naked with your clothes on
baby you're naked with your clothes on

Oh I'm a-traveling again to my baby
We've been together for a while now
but I still get that good feeling everytime I meet her eyes
well I got her this diamond ring
I guess it just didn't take long
for me to realize that she's the one for my life
and you're naked with your clothes on
baby you're naked with your clothes on

I reached my folks on a long distance call
asked how was everything and all
I said listen I got a surprise for you guys
Your son now is gonna have a wife
we're gettin' married on the 17th of any month
in a small ceremony to start our new ride
and you're naked with your clothes on
baby you're naked with your clothes on

Then you might ask
what made me write these lines
and what made me pick up a guitar that one night?
Well I guess I felt I had something to say
and it ain't for nobody's sake
just some stuff I kept hiden for a while
that left me naked with my clothes on
I'm naked with my clothes on
