F C
You know me I'm a regular guy, do just enough to get me by
F
It ain't the way or the will that's missin', I guess I don't have what you'd call ambition
C
And every day my baby says, when you gonna change your way
F
I'm sick and tired of you lyin' here, you'd better get your ass in gear
Chorus
F C
I can't get my ass in gear, I can't get it nowhere near
F
Too much wine too much beer I can't get my ass in gear

F C
I could be a millionaire, and live a life of ease
F
Sail my boat, fly my plane, anywhere I please
C
And all the things that I ain't got now, I found them all with greed
F
But there's just one thing keeps me way down here, I can't get my ass in gear

I can't get my ass in gear, I can't get it nowhere near

Too much wine too much beer I can't get my ass in gear

Well life ain't what it aughta be, whilst in bed she hollas at me

F
But if I did it would cost her dear, there ain't no way I would stay round here

Too much wine too much beer I can't get my ass in gear
