The Lovin' Spoonful - Original Album Classics: The Lovin' Spoonful

Sportin' Life

I'm gettin' tired of runnin' 'round
Believe I'll get married and I'll settle down
Because this old night life
This mean old sportin' life
You know it's killin' me

And I got a letter from my home
And most of my good friends
They are dead and gone
And it makes me worry
No need to wonder
About the times to come

And mother used to fall, on her knees and pray
And these are the very words she did say
She said "Oh, Johnny, my lovin' Johnny
Oh, won't you please change your ways?"

I've been a gambler and a cheater, too
But now it's come my, my time to lose
Because this old night life
You know, she's holdin' the best hand
And what can I do?

And I'm gettin' tired of runnin' 'round
Believe I'll get married and I'll settle down
Because this old night life
Oooo, it's a bad life
And it's killin' me
