 Well I got outa 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 and well there aint no point

 There’s something about a Monday that always makes me blue

 Well it was way after dark so I knew my wife and kids were waitin’ E

 And I guess I took a left where I generally take a right D

 Well I filled ‘er up with gas and checked the oil at the Texaco station E

 I threw the car seat into the dumpster and headed out into the night

Bridge

 Woooo-ooo-oo-oo blue mood. (moon?) E

 There’s somethin’ ‘bout a Monday that always makes me blue

 Well I headed south on 35 hell bent for Baudo(?)

 I’d never had the truck up past 75 before D

 Well there’s something ‘bout that little red line always looked so final

 Buddy you’d be surprised how fast a Chevrolet truck can go

 Now in Mexico they got a little place called Boy’s Town

 Where a man is 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

Bridge

 Woooo-ooo-oo-oo blue mood. (moon?)

 There’s somethin’ ‘bout a Monday that always makes me blue

Instrumental break

 Well I woke up in the county jail across the line in Laredo

 I had a headache and the deputy was a starin’ at me through the door

 He said “how you got across that river alive I don’t know,

 But you wife just made your bail so now your in her debt for sure.”

 Now my wife she called my boss and she lied so I got my job back

 And the boys down at the plant they whisper and stare at me

 Well my wife she finds a lot of little jobs to keep me on the right track

 That’s a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously

 Woooo-ooo-ooo-oo blue me

 That’s a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously
