Billy Joel — Weekend Song

[Verse 1] This back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin' Two more hours to go Yes, it's keeping me alive doin' nine to five And I ain't got nothin to show Pretty soon I'll be leavin' with the wages I'm receivin' But I know it's gonna be all right [Chorus] Come on, babe, and take me away We got some money to spend tonight [Bridge] Pick me up at the station Meet me at the train Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes I can't afford a vacation But I can take the strain Long as I can be with you Find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin' Two more hours to go Seven long years for the same corporation And I ain't got nothin' to show [Pre-Chorus] And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even But I know it's gonna be all right [Chorus] I shake off my blues when you put on your shoes We got some money to spend tonight Oh, I don't wanna stand here and sound accusin' Everybody does their share of losin' If I'm gonna lose it I might as well be doin' it right [Bridge] Pick me up at the station Meet me at the train Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes I can't afford a vacation But I can take the strain Long as I can be with you Find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it [Verse 1] This back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin' Two more hours to go Yes, it's keeping me alive doin' nine to five And I ain't got nothin to show [Pre-Chorus] And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even But I know it's gonna be all right [Chorus] Come on, babe, and take me away We got some money to spend tonight Come on, babe, and take me away We got some money to spend tonight
