Rolled into town half past ten
The king of hearts needing to mend
Tying up loose ends
But hopeful and hungry, waiting on Monday again
Hated my job, wanted to bail
Messed up my head when I failed
But this is where the heart begins
Hopeful and hungry, waiting on Monday again
Waiting on Monday, the week's been so long
If it takes 'til Tuesday, my hunger might be gone
Making good money selling my soul
But this gig is gettin' old
It's grinding me into sand
But hopeful and hungry, just waiting on Monday again
Weekends are long when you need turnin' on, the bars full of temptation
Playing cards dealt to my hand
But hopeful and hungry, waiting on Monday again
Waiting on Monday, the week's been so long
If it takes 'til Tuesday, my hunger might be gone
Waiting on Monday, hey-yeah
Waiting on Monday
