So Bad Last Night Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Jerry Jeff Walker 

When the telephone woke me this morning, I'm sorry was the first thing I said 

From that point it get's a bit fuzzy, thinking with half a head 

Putting the pieces together, it's shocking to flash on the past 

'Cause when you are known as a rascal, you can bet you showed off your ass 

Chorus: 

I was so bad last night, I'll be good for the rest of my life 

Now I'm telling you and this is the truth 

I have finally seen the light 

From now on I'm going to act right, I was so bad last night 

The harder I try to remember, the quicker my brain starts to hurt 

It really is funny, unwadding the money, that's been stuffed in my pants and shirt 

But tryin' to make sense of phone numbers, scribbled on the backs of old cards 

I guess we ought to be thankful, nobody knows who we are 

Alternate Chorus: 

I was so bad last night, I'll be good for the rest of my life 

Now I'm telling you and this is the truth 

I tore up the bar, lost a pretty nice car 

It's a good bet I ticked off my wife 

I never intended to do it, I dropped in for a drink or two 

But all of the chicks were so foxy, I wanted to marry a few 

The place was more crowded than usual, and everyone there was my friend 

Franny and Snake and Bunky and Jake, and somehow the night never ends 

Chorus
