The Week Of Living Dangerously

I got out of work and i headed for the neighborhood beer joint
I sat around and had a beer with the boys like i always do
Well i didnt have nothin to say anyway there aint no point
Theres just something bout a monday that always makes me blue
Well it was well after dark so i knew my wife and kids were waitin
And i guess i took a left where i generally take a right
Well i filled her up with gas, checked the oil at the texaco station
I threw the car seat in the dumpster and headed off into the night
Woo-ohh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Theres somethin bout a monday that always makes me blue
Well i headed south on 35 hell bent for vinyl
I hadnt never had her up past 55 before
Well somethin bout that little red line always looked so final
Buddy youd be surprised how fast a chevrolet truck can go
* now, down in mexico theyve got a little place called boystown
Where a mans still a man if you know what im talkin about
Well, i walked into the cadillac bar and i laid my cash down
I said theres plenty more where that came from and the lights went out
* (this verse is not included on the official lyrics sheet, but is included on the recording)
Well i woke up in a county jail cross the line in laredo
With a headache and a deputy staring at me through the door
Well he said now how you got across that river alive, i dont know
But your wife just made your bail so now youre really dead for sure
Now my wife, she called my boss and cried so i got my job back
And the boys down at the plant, they whisper and stare at me
Yea well my wife can find a lot of little jobs to keep me on the right track
Well, but thats a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously
Yeah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-wee
Thats a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously
