Sportin' Life - The Lovin' Spoonful

I'm getting tired of running round

Believe I'll get married and i'll settle down

Besuse this old night life

This mean old sporting life

You know it's killing me

And I got a letter from my home

Most of my good friends

They are dead and gone

And it makes me worry

Only to wonder

About the times to come

Mother used to fall on her knees and pray

These are the very words she did say

She said oh Johnny my loving Johnny

Won't you please change your ways

I been a gambler and a cheater too

But now it's come my my time to lose

Cause this old night life

You know she's holding the best hand

And what can I do

Cause I'm getting tired of running round

Believe I'll get married and settle down

Beuase this old night life

It's a bad life

And it's killing me
