Don't wait up on me, Ruby and Rosa Lee
Got a plane to catch, got checks to cash
Got snakeskin boots riding up on the dash
Don't wait up on me

I'm at a sports bar gate, B11
Got a ticket on a 737
Watching live PD on the TV
Talking about me
Sorry if I put it all on ya
But I'm on my way to California
That porch light's gonna be burning
When that sun comes up in the morning

Don't wait up on me, Ruby and Rosa Lee
Got a plane to catch, got checks to cash
Got snakeskin boots riding up on the dash
People saying, "Boy, what you thinking?"
Thinking 'bout doing a little drinking
The wrong place to be if you ever wanna get to sleep
Don't wait up on me
Don't wait up on me
(Don't wait up on me)

I'll be outta this town like a rocket
Rolling like an 8-ball in the corner pocket
Yeah, feels pretty good being gone
I'll let you know when I'm headed back home

Don't wait up on me, Ruby and Rosa Lee
Got a plane to catch, got checks to cash
Got snakeskin boots riding up on the dash
People saying, "Boy, what you thinking?"
Thinking 'bout doing a little drinking
The wrong place to be if you ever wanna get to sleep
Don't wait up on me

Tripping, dipping, sipping, and I'm smoking on some fine
Bad baby knocking so I'm gonna make her mine
Tripping, dipping, sipping, and I'm smoking on some fine
Bad baby knocking so I'm gonna make her mine

I'll be out of this town like a rocket
Yeah, feels pretty good being gone
I'll let you know when I'm headed back home

Don't wait up on me, Ruby and Rosa Lee
Got a plane to catch, got checks to cash
Got snakeskin boots riding up on the dash

Thinking 'bout doing a little drinking
The wrong place to be if you ever wanna get to sleep
Don't wait up on me
Don't wait up on me
(Don't wait up on me)

Tripping, dipping, sipping, and I'm smoking on some fine
Bad baby knocking so I'm gonna make her mine
Tripping, dipping, sipping, and I'm smoking on some fine
