Woman, you get meaner every day   And your naggin' is hard to stand   So I'll pack my things and I'll be on my way   'Cause it's time to bum again      This house gets smaller with every day   And the walls are closin' in   I guess I've said all there is to say   and it's time to bum again      The time has come to bum again   I'm gonna see all the places I ain't been   Woman, you've stirred up the wild, wild wind   And it's time to bum again      I'll visit my buddy out in Bakersfield   We soldiered together years back   We'll talk night and day till there's no more to say   Then I'll head on down the track      I may come back in a year or two   And you may not desire me then   There are some things that a man must do   And it's time to bum again      The time has come to bum again   I'm gonna see all the places I ain't been   Woman, you've stirred up the wild, wild wind   And it's time to bum again      Woman, you've stirred up the wild, wild wind   And it's time to bum again
