When the party is over, the whisky's all run dry
It's five o'clock in the morning, the folks have said goodbye
Baby says she loves me, the music's playing low
We're lying on the sofa, having one last smoke
Sometimes I like relaxin' Sometimes I like to be a quiet man

When work has been quite heavy, sweatin' all day long
It's great to have a shower, Or drink, nice, and long
Catch the late night movie, just my girl and me
Take a little stroll, no-one on the streets
Sometimes I like relaxin' Sometimes I like to be a quiet man

I like my share at ball games, sometimes I like a fight
I really dig those nightclubs, big sounds and them strobe lights
Cruisin' through the city, with the radio on real loud
But sometimes I really need, to get away from all the crowds

The weekends can be hectic, when all the folks drop in
Especialy when it's hot, and we go down to the beach
But if you don't say it, Sometimes You wanna pass
It's good to stick together, who knows how long it'll last
It's nice to slow down sometimes, it can be good to be a quiet man

I like my share at ball games, sometimes I like a fight
I really dig those nightclubs, big sounds and them strobe lights
Cruisin' through the city, with the radio on real loud
But sometimes I really need, te get away from all the crowds
Repeat first verse

It's nice to slow down sometimes, it can be good to be a quiet man
Yeah sometimes I like to be a quiet man
