Monday Morning's Back Again
Well,
I woke up Monday morning
with
one idea to stop the hurt
I
had to put on a pot of black coffee
And
wait for it to perk
Then
I faced the fact the weekend was over
Now
I have to go back to work
So
I washed my teeth and brushed my face
And
fell down the stairs to meet the day
I’d
smote my brain the last two days
With
football bets I’d been a pickin'
Went
out to eat and stuffed my face
With
tons of fried chicken
We
all went to church
And
thought about what momma was fixin'
And
Lord, it too me back to knowing this was Monday
Someway,
somehow I had to face the fact
On
a Monday morning wakeup
I’m
wishing, Lord, that I was home
Cause
there’s something in a Monday
That
makes a man grab a phone
And
there’s nothing short a’ lying
When
I tell the boss I can’t come in
Cause
my eyes are way to blurry
And
Monday morning’s back again
In
the park I saw a hippie
With
a fire upped joint he was smoking
And
I sat beside a friend of mine
And
listened to all his joking
Then
I stumbled down the street
And
somewhere someone was poking
Me
with a stick in his hand
Like
the disappearing plans of yesterday
As I stand in line for coffee
I'm wishing just one time I could hear
that the news was telling us all
Monday's been cancelled for a year
then we would have reason to celebrate
And somewhere everyone would cheer
and all the noise they made
was like the raging sounds of rushing wind
As I stand in line for coffee
I'm wishing just one time I could hear
that the news was telling us all
Monday's been cancelled for a year
then we would have reason to celebrate
And somewhere everyone would cheer
and all the noise they made
was like the raging sounds of rushing wind
On
a Monday morning wakeup
I’m
wishing, Lord, that I was home
Cause
there’s something in a Monday
That
makes a man grab a phone
And
there’s nothing short a’ lying
When
I tell the boss I can’t come in
Cause
my eyes are way to blurry
And
Monday morning’s back again
I do watch football. I do eat fried chicken. And not only do I have hippie friends, but I was one after a fashion (though I don't condone the actions of the hippie mentioned in this song!). Thanks for thinking of me, Gregg. I'll think of you as I sip my coffee!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome brother! I get a kick out of your posts when they relate to Mondays. So enjoy!
ReplyDeleteExcellent Gregg, most interesting to read and loved every word.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
All this talk of chicken the past few posts have made me hungry! Y'know the great thing about chicken is that you can eat 'em before they're born or after they die!
