Standard (EADGBE)

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

(chorus)

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…

(repeat chorus)

(outro)

 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
