Weekend Song

Lyrics

This back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'  
Two more hours to go  
Yes, it's keeping me alive doin' nine to five  
And I ain't got nothin to show  
Pretty soon I'll be leavin'  
With the wages I'm receivin'  
But I know it's gonna be all right  
Come on, babe, and take me away  
We got some money to spend tonight  
Pick me up at the station  
Meet me at the train  
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes  
I can't afford a vacation  
But I can take the strain  
Long as I can be with you  
Find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it  
Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'  
Two more hours to go  
Seven long years for the same corporation  
And I ain't got nothin' to show  
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even  
But I know it's gonna be all right  
I shake off my blues when you put on your shoes  
We got some money to spend tonight  
Oh, I don't wanna stand here and sound accusin'  
Everybody does their share of losin'  
If I'm gonna lose it I might as well be doin' it right  
Pick me up at the station  
Meet me at the train  
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes  
I can't afford a vacation  
But I can take the strain  
Long as I can be with you  
Find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it  
Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'  
Two more hours to go  
Yes, it's keepin' me alive doin' nine to five  
And I ain't got nothin' to show  
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even  
But I know it's gonna be all right  
Come on, babe, and take me away  
We got some money to spend tonight  
Come on, babe, take me away  
We got some money to spend tonight
