I got me a brand new car Waitin' in the driveway Shinin' like a bright new star I've be wishin' on it every day 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 punchin' 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 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
'Cause I don't have to be me till Monday Friday, Saturday, Sunday I ain't gonna face reality
Three days without punchin' 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 punchin' 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) I don't have to be me till Monday (I don't have to be me) I don't have to be me till Monday (I don't have to be me) I don't have to be me till Monday
