Well I got outa 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 didn’t have nothin’ to say and well there aint no point

There’s something about a Monday that always makes me blue

Well it was way after dark so I knew my wife and kids were waitin’ E

And I guess I took a left where I generally take a right D

Well I filled ‘er up with gas and checked the oil at the Texaco station E

I threw the car seat into the dumpster and headed out into the night

Bridge

Woooo-ooo-oo-oo blue mood. (moon?) E

There’s somethin’ ‘bout a Monday that always makes me blue

Well I headed south on 35 hell bent for Baudo(?)

I’d never had the truck up past 75 before D

Well there’s something ‘bout that little red line always looked so final

Buddy you’d be surprised how fast a Chevrolet truck can go

Now in Mexico they got a little place called Boy’s Town

Where a man is still a man if you know what I’m talkin’ about

Well I walked into the Cadillac Bar and I laid my cash down

I said “There’s plenty more where that came from.” And the lights went out

Bridge

Woooo-ooo-oo-oo blue mood. (moon?)

There’s somethin’ ‘bout a Monday that always makes me blue

Instrumental break

Well I woke up in the county jail across the line in Laredo

I had a headache and the deputy was a starin’ at me through the door

He said “how you got across that river alive I don’t know,

But you wife just made your bail so now your in her debt for sure.”

Now my wife she called my boss and she lied so I got my job back

And the boys down at the plant they whisper and stare at me

Well my wife she finds a lot of little jobs to keep me on the right track

That’s a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously

Woooo-ooo-ooo-oo blue me

That’s a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously
