Monday Afternoon

Intro: It's Monday afternoon and I'm drinking again And I know I promised you that the Lord would be my friend But the Lord and I don't get along so very good He doesn't speak a word out to me Like you promised that he would And I'm telling you I wish I was a better person When the clouds roll in and the sky promises rain You just ac cept the way she is and you don't even complain Though you wish that it was sunny and the sky would stay blue You don't ac cept a thing about me And wish that I was just like you But I'm telling you I wish I was a better person I don't want to work at it It should come natural ly It shouldn't be so difficult Should be more like honey to the bee Well the bee has his sting and the sky has her rain And I have all of my things that I shouldn't do over again But if I just say the words and I look you in the eye That I am promising you, I promise I wish I was a better person I don't want to work at it It should come natural ly It shouldn't be so difficult Should be more like honey to the bee Well it's Monday afternoon and I'm drinking again And I know I promised you that the Lord would be my friend But the Lord and I don't get along so very good He doesn't speak a word out to me Like you promised that he would And I'm telling you I am telling you I am telling you I wish I was a better person A better person A better person A better person
