Well I got outa work and I headed for the neighborhood beer joint
        E                                               A
I sat around and had a beer with the boys like I always do
         D                                                A
Well I didn’t have nothin’ to say and well there aint no point
         E                                             A
There’s something about a Monday that always makes me blue
                  A                                                           A
Well it was way after dark so I knew my wife and kids were waitin’           E           
                                      A
And I guess I took a left where I generally take a right                 D               
                                           A
Well I filled ‘er up with gas and checked the oil at the Texaco station     E            
                                                 A
I threw the car seat into the dumpster and headed out into the night

There’s somethin’ ‘bout a Monday that always makes me blue

        E                                A
Well I headed south on 35 hell bent for Baudo(?)
     E                               A
I’d never had the truck up past 75 before                          D                     
                                            A
Well there’s something ‘bout that little red line always looked so final
       E                                                A
Buddy you’d be surprised how fast a Chevrolet truck can go

Now in Mexico they got a little place called Boy’s Town
        E                                               A
Where a man is still a man if you know what I’m talkin’ about
         D                                        A
Well I walked into the Cadillac Bar and I laid my cash down

He said “how you got across that river alive I don’t know,

Now my wife she called my boss and she lied so I got my job back
        E                                                A
