Goin' Goin' Gone
Friday Night Escape: Embracing Life Beyond the Paycheck
Lyrics
I put in my forty and they take out way too much
I worked for forty hours, but they deducted too much from my pay.
The same old story, same old brown bag, homemade lunch
My routine is repetitive—bringing a homemade lunch in a brown bag, a common experience.
Might not be the big dream but I guess I can't complain
My current situation may not fulfill my big dreams, but I have no significant complaints.
It pays the rent but that's about all that it pays
The job only covers the rent and not much beyond that.
It's been too long
It's been a long time.
Hey, I'm goin', I'm goin'
I am leaving, I am leaving.
I'm overdue so throw it on the card
I am overdue for a break, so put it on my credit card.
Bartender, keep it open, I'm just getting started
Requesting the bartender to keep the tab open because the night is just beginning.
Come Monday morning, I just might be overdrawn
By Monday, I might face financial issues, but tonight is Friday, and I'm enjoying myself.
But it's Friday night, so, I'm goin', goin' gone
Despite potential financial problems, I am leaving and enjoying the Friday night.
Ain't got no 401, ain't got no benefits
I lack a 401(k) retirement plan and other job benefits.
They don't hand out stock options, not down here in the pits
No stock options are provided in my current working conditions.
But I've got old glory hanging by my front porch light
I display the American flag proudly by my house, finding value in simple things.
Might not be the perfect world but then again, it might
My world might not be perfect, but it has its merits.
All I know is
Expressing uncertainty or acceptance of the current state.
It's been too long
It's been a long time.
Hey, I'm goin', I'm goin'
I am leaving, I am leaving.
I'm overdue so throw it on the card
I am overdue for a break, so put it on my credit card.
Bartender, keep it open, I'm just getting started
Requesting the bartender to keep the tab open because the night is just beginning.
Come Monday morning, I just might be overdrawn
By Monday, I might face financial issues, but tonight is Friday, and I'm enjoying myself.
But it's Friday night, so, I'm goin', goin' gone
Despite potential financial problems, I am leaving and enjoying the Friday night.
It's been too long
It's been a long time.
So, I'm goin', hey, I'm goin'
So, I am leaving, hey, I am leaving.
I'm overdue so throw it on the card
I am overdue for a break, so put it on my credit card.
Bartender, leave it open, I'm just getting started
Requesting the bartender to keep the tab open because the night is just beginning.
Come Monday morning, I just might be overdrawn
By Monday, I might face financial issues, but tonight is Friday, and I'm enjoying myself.
But it's Friday night, so, I'm goin', goin' gone
Despite potential financial problems, I am leaving and enjoying the Friday night.
Whoo
A celebratory exclamation, expressing excitement or enjoyment.
