VERSE 1
DI got a little game that I Dplay
and I Dcall it "Try to Dbeat the morning paper Dhome"
I Dain't very good but I Dget a lot of practice,
even Dwon once a month Dago
Of Ecourse there was a girl involved that Fwasn't gonna let me Grest
But I've always Dsaid GI can sleep when I'Dm dead
CHORUS
If there's Dsomethin' goin' on within a Ghundred miles from home,
ya Agonna hear my V-8 Dsing
Long as DI can beat the train and they Ggot a passing lane,
Baby, AI ain't gonna miss a thiDng
BmLife's too fun and AI'm too young and the Gnight ain't over Eyet
Like I Asaid I can sleep when I'Dm dead
VERSE 2
It ain't no fun if ya ain't got money
so I always make it in to work
The trick is to leave at least a half an hour
to brush my teeth and change my shirt
Keep a closet full of Red Bull and Visine to hide the red
I don't need the rest, I can sleep when I'm dead
CHORUS
If there's somethin' goin' on within a hundred miles from home,
ya gonna hear my V-8 sing
Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane,
Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing
Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet
Like I said I can sleep when I'm dead
BRIDGE
AWhen I get tiredA, I'll go to bed
AAll that I can say is that it Ahasn't happened yet
CHORUS
If there's somethin' goin' on within a hundred miles from home,
ya gonna hear my V-8 sing
Long as I can beat the train and they got a passing lane,
Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing
Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet
Like I said 
Like I said
Like I said
I can sleep when I'm dead
