Well, 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 nothing to say and well, there ain't no point
There's something about a Monday that always makes me blue
Well, it was well after dark so I knew my wife and kids were waiting
And I guess I took a left where I generally take a right
Well, I filled her up with gas and took a haul at the Texaco station
I threw the car seat in a dumpster and I headed out into the night
Ooh
There's something about a Monday that always makes me blue
Well, I had a 735 hell bent for vinyl
I had never had a truck up past 75 before
Well, there's something about that little red line that always looks so fine, oh
Well, you'd be surprised how fast a Chevrolet truck can go
Now, down in Mexico they got a little place called Boys Town
Where a man's still a man if you know what I'm talking about
Well, I walked into the Cadillac bar and I laid my cash down
I said there's plenty more than that came from and the lights went out
Ooh
There's something about a Monday that always makes me blue
Hey
Now, I woke up in a county jail across the line of Laredo
I had to head to get a deputy staring at me through the door
I had to head to get a deputy staring at me through the door
I had to head to get a deputy staring at me through the door
I had to head to get a deputy staring at me through the door
He said, now, you got to cross that river alive, I don't know
But your wife just made you bail so now you're really dead for sure
Now, my wife, she called my boss and she lied so I got my job back
And the boss down at the plant was whispering and staring at me
Well, my wife, she finds a lot of little jobs that keep me on the right track
That's a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously
Ooh, baby
That's a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously
Hey! Woo!
Hey! Woo!
Hey! Woo!
Hey! Woo!
Hey! Woo!
Hey! Woo!
