Keep your eyes on the prize

(I DON’T WANT TO MISS) THE REST OF MY LIFE
You’re on a first-name basis
With Jack Daniels and Jim Beam.
You live at the oasis,
Pouring out your drunkard’s dream.
You want me to go places
To let off a little steam.
I’m going home to
My intoxicating wife.
I don’t want to miss
The rest of my life.
You say that you have a plan
To help you make your big score.
We can grab a couple grand –
And maybe a whole lot more.
You want me as your wheel man,
Waiting for you at the door.
I’m going home to
My sweet straight-and-narrow wife.
I don’t want to miss
The rest of my life.
You’re trying to get me in
This big all-night poker game.
Think of how much I could win;
Think of the fortune and fame.
You want me around to spend
Time with that Lady Luck dame.
I’m going home to
My wonderful wild-card wife.
I don’t want to miss
The rest of my life.
I don’t want to miss
The rest of my life.
