Before Monday Come

Closed the trunk on 4 days worth a my best travellin gear

It's a long way back to Carolina and times growin near

Me and Jr and a sick day, got a mission to rescue

A fine old piece of Detroit steel made in 1972

Long bed chevy ¾ ton

Got to make the run

Before Monday Come

3 days in, 2 angry men, 1 great big ass problem

Damn old woman sold that truck to some landscape Mexicans

Didn't come this far to be outdone and I gave her a piece of mind

Until that policeman would say "lets take a little ride"

Sittin' here in the county jail

Please someone come and go my bail

Before Monday Come

(Lead break)

I been around and seen some things, at times in my life

But not this county drunk tank on no Saturday night

Judge will see us Monday and we'll stand before that man

But I got to punch in early or I'll get myself canned

Hear me now, don't let me down, you got to get me home

But the call was late and I heard my boss fore' she hung that telephone

Boss man sleepin with my wife

Fired my ass and stole my life

Before Monday Come
