Notes:

JT on Sony.com: Yer love jones.

Gotta watchdog watching me

Watching me packing my bags

He knows I'm leaving town

I can see that it's a drag

Why leave the life I love

Here in the great state of Maine

Just to ride that shining rail

Just to size that ball and chain

Gotta spend just a little more time with you

That's why

Gotta spend just a little more time with you

Oh oh oh

Gotta spend just a little more time with you

Yes I do, yes I do

Gotta spend just a little more time with you

Oh oh oh oh oh

I passed on the cocaine

Said bye-bye to my methadone

Put down the bottle for one more day

Backing off of my Tobacco Jones

Still I feel like a hopeless junkie

Like a man who can't say no

I look back and there's that monkey

Rascal won't let go

Gotta spend just a little more time with you

I get high and I can't come down

I get high just hanging around

I get high, I go lost and found

I get high oh I oh I

Gotta spend just a little more time with you
