  • I got me a brand new car
    Waiting in the driveway
    Shining like a bright new star
    I've been wishing on it every day
    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 to anywhere but there

    Call it an early weekend
    Call it going off the deep end
    Call it what you want
    I 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 punching a time clock
    Three nights of goin' non-stop
    No work and all play
    I don't have to be me 'til Monday
    Yeah

    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
    A 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

    'Cause I don't have to be me 'til Monday
    Friday, Saturday, Sunday
    I ain't gonna face reality
    Three days without punching a time clock
    Three nights of going non-stop
    No work and all play
    I don't have to be me 'til Monday

    Oh, three days without punching a time clock
    Three nights going non-stop
    No work and all play
    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
    (I don't have to be me)
