Lyrics
Working Too Hard Blues
By: Drew Rice
Verse
I?m going down
To see Old Mexico
Down where the whiskey flows
Both night and day
I need a getaway
A south of the border holiday
And let the women and the music
Chase my blues away
Chorus
So go and set ?em up
And watch me drink them down
I?ll be the one with the biggest
Silliest grin around
I may fall off my stool
And appear to be a fool
But it?s the sure cure
For these working too hard blues
Verse
Well that old time clock
Is driving me insane
I feel like a dog ten feet from a bone
On a nine-foot chain
Now it?s finally here
Yeah it?s quitting time
I?m going to fly out of here
Searching for salt and lime
Turn right head North to the airport
But there?s a Ford in the parking lot
Turn left head South to the South of the Border lounge
Just South of Border Street
Give Old Mexico my keys
And grab a seat
Chorus
Come on and set ?em up
And watch me drink them down
I?ll be the one with the biggest
Silliest grin around
I may fall off my stool
And appear to be a fool
But it?s the sure cure
For these working too hard blues
Yeah it?s the sure cure
For these working too hard blues
