Lyrics
40 Hr Weekend
Pack the bags fill the tank in the SUV Let's get the hell out of here
Early day skipping lunch boss said it's fine
Looks like the coast is clear
Swaying palm trees lead our way to the sea
We can get as wild as we want to be
Worked all week a little tired and stressed
But there's nothing I'd rather do
Worries gone feeling good let's go and slam back a few
A setting sun will surely guide our steps
And I promise you a night you'll never forget
Chorus
Kiss me by the moonlight keep me up all night
Candles burn in our hotel room 'till the morning light
We roll under the sheets and it's like we used to be
Let's unleash the wings of change and chart the course for you and me
Won't be a slave to 9 to 5 again
Cause I'm ready now to change that trend to a 40 hour weekend
I recall younger days no bills to pay We used to just shoot the breeze
But time's a thief it'll steal your dreams
And bring you right to your knees
I'd like a life with very few regrets
It's up to us to make it as good as it gets
Taking charge of my life breaking rules
An eternal smile on my face
Take my hand all is fine trust in me And let's take that leap of faith
I won't let life clip our wings change our plans
I've got the keys in my hand let's hit the road and
Repeat Chorus
We all make choices, but I hear voices saying stay inside the lane, but that's not who I am
Repeat Chorus
