SUNDAY NIGHT

[VERSE 1]

 

I stumbled through the door about a quarter to three

Another night on the town, just the boys and me

She had her bags packed by the foot of the bed

I could barely understand a word she said

We sure had one helluva fight

Now my baby’s gone and it’s only Sunday night

 

[CHORUS 1]

 

This ain’t no way to start the week

This ain’t what I had planned

Guess I shoulda turned the other cheek

But I ain’t that kind of man

Now I’m sitting here all alone, and man that just ain’t right

It’s been a long, long week…and it’s only Sunday night

 

[VERSE 2]

                       

Climbed out of bed bout eleven o’clock

Everything was gone but the front door lock

She took my truck, and my hard earned pay

And my next paycheck is five days away

So I grabbed me a bottle, and held on tight

Three sheets to the wind and it’s only Sunday night

 

[CHORUS 2]

 

This ain’t no way to start the week

This ain’t what I had planned

She never let me have a chance to speak

I coulda made her understand

Now my baby’s gone, I’m dead broke, and my truck’s nowhere in sight

It’s been a long, long week…and it’s only Sunday night

 

[VERSE 3]

 

Called up a buddy, got a ride to town

I was bound and determined to track her down

The officer said I was making a scene

Said I was awful loud and way too mean

Next thing I saw was the flashing light

Six days in the hole and it’s only Sunday night

 

 

[CHORUS 3]

 

This ain’t no way to start the week

This ain’t what I had planned

I’m on the bad side of a losing streak

Things sure got out of hand

The judge said son, hope you had some fun, cause your future ain’t too bright

It’s been a long, long week…and it’s only Sunday night
