I got me a brand new car waiting in the driveway
Shinin’ like a bright new star
I been wishin’ on it everyday
To take me away from here
So I called in to where I work,
Told a little white lie
No my back don’t really hurt but that’s my alibi
My temporary ticket to anywhere but there
Call it an early weekend
Call it goin’ off the deep end
Call it what you want I made up my mind…


I don’t have to be me till Monday
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
I ain’t gonna face reality
Three days without punching a time clock
Three nights of goin’ non stop
No work and all play
I don’t have to be me, till Monday


Yeah, I can do what I wanna do, be who I wanna be
I got no one to answer to as soon as I turn the key
A cash machine, gasoline and we’re outta here
Call it an early weekend
Call it goin’ off the deep end
Baby you and me we can leave it all behind…


I don’t have to be me till Monday
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
I ain’t gonna face reality
Three days without punching a time clock
Three nights of goin’ non stop
No work and all play
I don’t have to be me, till Monday


Oh……Three days without punching a time clock
Three nights of goin’ non stop
No work and all play
I don’t have to be me, till Monday
I don’t have to be me, till Monday
I don’t have to be me, till Monday
I don’t have to be me, till Monday
