[Verse 1] I fell asleep in my chair again, With the television low. Yeah, I fell asleep in my chair again— Where’d the whole damn evening go? Now the clock says ten-thirty, And I know just what that means: I woke up just in time to go to bed And dream my tired dreams. [Chorus] I got the uh-oh, ten-thirty, Fell-asleep-in-my-chair-again blues. Got the uh-oh, ten-thirty, Too-tired-to-take-off-my-shoes blues. I spent the whole night sleeping, Now there ain’t no time to lose— I woke up just in time to go to bed With the ten-thirty blues. [Verse 2] The remote is in my rib cage, My phone’s somewhere underneath. The bathroom’s in another county, And I still have to brush my teeth. That bed is twenty feet away, But tonight it might as well be Rome; I need a nap to find the strength To make that journey home. [Bridge] I wasn’t out there raising hell, Never painted this town red; I got ambushed by the recliner— Now I’m running late for bed. [Final Chorus] I got the uh-oh, ten-thirty, Fell-asleep-in-my-chair-again blues. Got the half-awake, can’t-get-up, Why’d-I-even-wear-these-shoes blues. I slept through my whole evening, Now my bedtime bill is due— I woke up just in time to go to bed... Lord, that’s a tired man’s blues. [Outro] All right... I’m getting up. Just resting my eyes first...
