steve earle and the dukes - the week of living dangerously lyrics

Loading...

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 didn’t have nothin’ to say anyway there ain’t no point
there’s 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
there’s somethin’ ’bout a monday that always makes me blue

well i headed south on 35 h-ll bent for vinyl
i hadn’t never had her up past 55 before
well somethin’ ’bout that little red line always looked so final
buddy you’d be surprised how fast a chevrolet truck can go

– now, down in mexico they’ve got a little place called boystown
where a man’s 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

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 don’t know
but your wife just made your bail so now you’re 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 that’s a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously

yeah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-wee
that’s a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously
