That's right
Well, the dogs are barkin' and I'm out rockin'
Nobody home to throw them a bone

Had to jump the fence and break my lock
Yeah
Oh my God, I'm back in FLA

Clock on the wall says a quarter to two
Well, the boys are on the bus and they're waitin' on me

Telephone's ringin', baby's on the line
Tired of being here doin' my time
Gotta hit the road runnin', gotta get goodnight
Yeah
Oh my God, I'm back in FLA
I got so much to do but I'm only here for a day
Wish I could pay for it while I'm in it
Seems like I'm there only for a minute
Me and the bank own a house down in FLA

Oh, wish I could pay for it while I'm in it
