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
And 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
