**** Intro: (x2) 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 (one strum) I don't have to be me, til 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 CHORUS Instrumental: (x2) Ooooh, three days without punching a time clock Three nights of goin' non stop No work and all play (no chord) I don't have to be m---------e, til Monday I don't have to be me, til Monday (I don't have to be...) I don't have to be me, til Monday (I don't have to be...) (no chord) I don't have to be m----e, til Monday
