I`ve got me a brand new car
Waiting in the driveway
Shining like a bright new star
I`ve been wishin on her everyday
To take me away from here
So I called in to where I work
Told a little white lie
No, my back don`t really hurt
But that`s my alibi
My temporary ticket too anywhere but there
Call it an early weekend
Call it going off the deep end
Call it what you want
I`ve made up my mind
I don`t have to be me til Monday
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
I ain`t gonna face reality
Three days without punchin a time clock
Three nites of goin non- stop
No work and all play
I don`t hafta be me til Monday
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, and we`re outta here
Call it an early weekend
Call it going off the deep end
Baby you and me, we can leave it all behind
Cuz I don`t have to be me til Monday
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
I ain`t gonna face reality
Three days w/o punchin a time clock
Three nites of goin non- stop
No work and all play
I don`t hafta be me til Monday
Oh three days w/o punchin a time clock
Three nites of goin non- stop
No work and all play
I don`t hafta be me til Monday
(I don`t have to be me)
I don`t have to be me til Monday
(I don`t have to be me)
I don`t have to be me til Monday
(I don`t have to be me)
I don`t have to be me til Monday
