A Well I got outa work and I headed for the neighborhood beer jointE A I sat around and had a beer with the boys like I always doD A Well I didn’t have nothin’ to say and well there aint no pointE A There’s something about a Monday that always makes me blueA A Well it was way after dark so I knew my wife and kids were waitin’ EA And I guess I took a left where I generally take a right DA Well I filled ‘er up with gas and checked the oil at the Texaco station EA I threw the car seat into the dumpster and headed out into the night [Bridge]D G A Woooo Wooo-Wooo-WoooE A There’s somethin’ ‘bout a Monday that always makes me blue [Verse]E A Well I headed south on 35 hell bent for vinylE A I’d never had the truck up past 75 before DA Well there’s something ‘bout that little red line always looked so finalE A Buddy you’d be surprised how fast a Chevrolet truck can goE A Now in Mexico they got a little place called Boy’s TownE A Where a man is still a man if you know what I’m talkin’ aboutD A Well I walked into the Cadillac Bar and I laid my cash downE A I said “There’s plenty more where that came from.” And the lights went out [Bridge]D G A Woooo Wooo-Wooo-WoooE A There’s somethin’ ‘bout a Monday that always makes me blue [Instrumental]E E A A E E A A D D A A E E A A [Verse]E A Well I woke up in the county jail across the line in LaredoE A I had a headache and the deputy was a starin’ at me through the doorD A He said “how you got across that river alive I don’t know,E A But you wife just made your bail so now your in her debt for sure.”E A Now my wife she called my boss and she lied so I got my job backE A And the boys down at the plant they whisper and stare at meD A Well my wife she finds a lot of little jobs to keep me on the right trackE A That’s a small price to pay for a week of living dangerouslyD G A Woooo Wooo-Wooo-WeeeE A That’s a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously
