Thanks for the bread and board, Bob, I enjoyed my stay
But I got just a little bit bored, Bob, I'll be on my way
I see you got yourself a job, Bob, that's not for me
Got yourself a job, Bob, while I'm still free
But remember them good old days down in New Orleans, Bob,
Them Cajun queens, but now your wife's lookin' at me kinda hard, Bob, she thinks I'm mean
You got yourself a housewife, Bob, and a house note too
Reclining chairs and phone bills, Bob, but that's not for you
Well, I'm headed out L.A. away, Bob, there ain't no fair
All the freight pulls out today, Bob, do you dare?
But remember them good old times out in the Frisco yards, Bob, on the cold hard ground
Now your wife's lookin' at me kinda hard, Bob, I'll see you around
So thanks for the bread and board, Bob, I enjoyed my stay
But just forget all the talk, Bob, about the good old days
I think your wife's just a little bit scared, Bob, that you'll wanna be free
But you and I both know, Bob, you're better off than me
But remember them good old days down in New Orleans, Bob, and them Cajun queens
Now your wife's lookin' at me kinda hard, Bob, she thinks I'm mean
And remember them good old days out in the Frisco yards, Bob, on the cold hard ground
Now your wife's lookin' at me kinda hard, Bob, well, I'll see you around
I'll see you around
