[Verse 1]
Thanks for the bed and board, Bob
Enjoyed my stay
But I got just a little bit bored, Bob
Be on my way
So you got yourself a job, Bob
That's not for me
You got a house and a wife and a job, Bob
But I'm still free
[Chorus]
Remember the good ol' days 'round the Frisco Yards, Bob
For you, they're gone
Now your wife's looking at me kinda hard, Bob
I'll move along
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
So you got yourself a housewife, Bob
And a house note, too
Reclining chairs and phone bills, Bob
That's not for you
I'm a-heading out LA way, Bob
There ain't no fare
The freight pulls out today, Bob
Do you dare?
[Chorus 2]
Remember the good times down in New Orleans, Bob
Them Cajun queens
Now your wife's looking at me kinda hard, Bob
She thinks I'm mean
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Thanks for the bed and board, Bob
Enjoyed my stay
But just forget all the talk, Bob
'bout the good ol' days
'cause your wife's a little bit scared, Bob
You wanna be free
But you and me both know, Bob
You're better off than me
[Chorus 3]
Remember those cold nights out in Frisco Yards, Bob
And the hard, cold ground
Now your wife's looking at me kinda hard, Bob
See you 'round
