Tom Waits | better off without a wife

CD Nighthawks at the diner | Elektra 1975 | All my friends are married Every Tom and Dick and Harry You must be strong if you’re to go it alone Here’s to the bachelors and the Bowery bums Those who feel that they’re the ones That are better off without a wife Cause I like to sleep until the crack of noon Midnight howling at the moon Going out when I want to, And I’m coming home when I please Don’t have to ask permission If I wanna go out fishing Never have to ask for the keys I’ve never been no Valentino
