[Verse 1]
Got to watchdog watching me, doggy, watching me packing my bags
He knows I'm leaving town, I can see that it's a drag
Why leave the life I love here in the great state of Maine
Just to ride that shining rail, just to size that ball and chain?

[Chorus]
Oh, I got to spend just a little more time with you yeah, that's why
Got to spend just a little more time with you my girl, oh oh oh
Got to spend just a little more time with you baby, yes I do, yes I do
Oh, I got to spend just a little more time with you yeah, that's why

[Verse 2]
I passed on the cocaine, said bye-bye to my methadone
Put down the bottle for one more day, backing off of my tobacco Jones
Still feel like a hopeless junkie, like a man who can't say no
I look back and there's that monkey, rascal won't let go, let me go

[Chorus]
Got to spend just a little more time with you, so help me now
Got to spend just a little more time with you my baby, oh, oh
Got to spend just a little more time with you, yes I do, yes I do, now
Got to spend just a little more time with you, oh oh oh

[Verse 3]
I get high and I can't come down, I get high just hanging around
I get high, I go lost and found, I get high oh I oh I
[Chorus]
Got to spend just a little more time with you baby, I'll be walking in the light
Got to spend just a little bit more time with you, oh oh
Got to spend just a little more time with you, just a little more time, just a little more time
Got to spend just a little bit more time with you, oh oh
