I got out of work and i headed for the neighborhood beer joint |
|
I sat around and had a beer with the boys like i always do |
|
Well i didn't have nothin' to say anyway there ain't no point |
|
There's just something 'bout a monday that always makes me blue |
|
Well it was well after dark so i knew my wife and kids were waitin' |
|
And i guess i took a left where i generally take a right |
|
Well i filled her up with gas, checked the oil at the texaco station |
|
I threw the car seat in the dumpster and headed off into the night |
|
Woo-ohh-ooh-ooh-ooh |
|
There's somethin' 'bout a monday that always makes me blue |
|
Well i headed south on 35 hell bent for vinyl |
|
I hadn't never had her up past 55 before |
|
Well somethin' 'bout that little red line always looked so final |
|
Buddy you'd be surprised how fast a chevrolet truck can go |
|
* now, down in mexico they've got a little place called boystown |
|
Where a man's still a man if you know what i'm talkin' about |
|
Well, i walked into the cadillac bar and i laid my cash down |
|
I said 'there's plenty more where that came from' and the lights went out |
|
* (this verse is not included on the official lyrics sheet, but is included on the recording) |
|
Well i woke up in a county jail 'cross the line in laredo |
|
With a headache and a deputy staring at me through the door |
|
Well he said 'now how you got across that river alive, i don't know |
|
But your wife just made your bail so now you're really dead for sure' |
|
Now my wife, she called my boss and cried so i got my job back |
|
And the boys down at the plant, they whisper and stare at me |
|
Yea well my wife can find a lot of little jobs to keep me on the right track |
|
Well, but that's a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously |
|
Yeah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-wee |
|
That's a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously |
