Friday Paycheck
Chasing Dreams: Life, Love, and Laughter with a Friday Paycheck
Lyrics
Monday mornin' got my work boots on
Starting the workweek, ready for work.
My checkbook tells me that my money is gone
Realizing that the money is already spent.
Gotta little honey dependin' on me
Responsibility towards a significant other.
To take her to town at the end of the week
Plans to take the partner to town on the weekend.
We'll find a parkin' spot so we can reconnect
Seeking intimacy by finding a parking spot.
As soon as I get my Friday paycheck
Anticipating reconnecting after receiving the Friday paycheck.
We'll get a chili cheese dog at the bowlin' lane
Planning a casual date at a bowling alley.
I'm still a workin' on that perfect game
Expressing dedication to improving at bowling.
Maybe catch a movie when my arm goes numb
Possibly watching a movie during downtime.
Wrap it around her when the good part comes
Sharing affection during a movie's emotional moments.
I may look like an old redneck
Aware of a perception as a redneck but values the paycheck.
But I'm a high-roller with a Friday paycheck
Feeling financially successful with the Friday paycheck.
Everybody knows I like to have a good time
Enjoys having a good time despite work commitments.
I just gotta stay above that poverty line
Striving to maintain financial stability.
Food on the table, roof over head
Prioritizing basic needs: food and shelter.
Leave somethin' to my young 'uns when I wind up dead
Thinking about leaving something for family after death.
You never know what life will throw at you next
Acknowledging life's uncertainties.
I'm countin' down the day 'til my Friday paycheck
Eagerly waiting for the Friday paycheck.
Wish I could tell the foreman when I'm under the gun
Wishing to quit the job but keeping it for the paycheck.
Take this job and shove it son
Internal conflict about job dissatisfaction.
I keep it to myself 'cause I've gotta get paid
Keeping job dissatisfaction private for the sake of income.
And dance with my baby at the end of the day
Looking forward to dancing with the partner after work.
I'm a yellin' at the band when they're doin' sound check
Expressing frustration during a band sound check.
Why don't you give me some Cash with my p-p-paycheck (Johnny that is)
Desiring some cash with the paycheck, referencing Johnny Cash.
Everybody knows I like to have a good time
Reiterating the enjoyment of life despite challenges.
I just gotta stay above that poverty line
Emphasizing the importance of staying financially afloat.
Food on the table, roof over head
Highlighting the essential needs of life.
Leave somethin' to my young 'uns when I wind up dead
Considering the future well-being of the family.
You never know what life will throw at you next
Reflecting on life's uncertainties once again.
I'm countin' down the day 'til my Friday paycheck
Anticipating the arrival of the Friday paycheck.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Counting down to payday.
You never know what life will throw at you next
Repeating the acknowledgment of life's unpredictability.
I'm countin' down the days 'til my Friday paycheck
Continuing to look forward to the Friday paycheck.
I gotta get my hands on that Friday paycheck
Expressing the urgency of receiving the Friday paycheck.
