I got me a brand new car
Waiting in the driveway
Shining like a bright new star
I've been wishing on it every day
To take me away from here
So I called in to where I worked
Told a little white lie
No my back don't really hurt
That's my alibi
My temporary ticket
To anywhere but there
Call it an early weekend
Call it going 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 going 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
Cash machine gasoline
We're out here
Call it an early weekend
Call it going 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 punching a time clock
Three nights going non stop
No working all play
I don't have to be me
Til Monday
Oh
Three days without punchin' a time clock
Three nights 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
