I work hard, I pay my dues, and I get by
It’s a long, hard week, no 9 to 5, but I survive
Working and sleep is all I do, ain’t much of a life
Working still and dreaming I’ll be free
Every day I see the sun go down on me
It’s so long gone before I hit the streets
When I get home I’m so damn tired I fall asleep
I’m back at work and I want to be free
Working long hours I long to get away and find some time for myself, time to do what makes me feel free and time to be with my wife.
Roll on Friday night I hope I’m not too tired for the weekend
I’m gonna drink some beers and spend a little time with you
Come on, kiss me on the lips and tell me that I’m still your man
Show a little love, a little bit affection is all I want
Let’s go out tonight, let’s party like we’re both not too tired
Cause I’m feeling trapped and I just wanna get away
Roll on Friday night I hope I’m not too tired for the weekend
I’m gonna drink some beers and spend a little time with you
I wanna have some fun, that’s all I wanna do, it’s the weekend
I wanna live it like, remember how it used to be
I’m sick of being tired of workin’ just to earn some pay
Payin’ the rent and the rest is goin’ out for food
I feel so depressed, this ain’t the place I want to be
But the weekend finally comes, I wanna be so far from here
Roll on Friday night I hope I’m not too tired for the weekend
I’m gonna drink some beers and spend a little time with you
I wanna have some fun, that’s all I wanna do, it’s the weekend
I wanna live it like, remember how it used to be
I wanna live it like, remember how it used to be
I wanna live it like, remember how it used to be
I wanna live it like, remember how it used to be
