The Week of Living Dangerously
Steve Earle
N.C.Well I got outa work and I headed for
the nAeighborhood beer joint
I sat arEound and had a beer with the boys like I always Ado
Well I dDidn't have nothin' to say well there aint no pAoint
There's sEomething about a Monday that always makes me bAlue
Well it was wEay after dark
so I knew the wife and kids were wAaitin'
And I gEuess I took a left where I generally take a rAight
Well I fillDed 'er up with gas
And checked the oil at the TexacAo station
I threw the cEar seat in the dumpster
And headed out into the Anight
[Bridge]
WoDooo-ooo-Goo-oo Blue MAood
[Verse]
There's sEomething about a Monday that always makes me bAlue
Well I hEeaded south on 35 hell bent for vAinyl
I hadn't nEever had her up past 55 bAefore
Well sometDhin' 'bout that little
red line always looked so fAinal
Buddy yEou'd be surprised how fast a Chevrolet truck can Ago
Now, down in MeExico they've
got a little place called ABoystown
Where a mEan's still a man
if you know what I'm talkin' abAout
Well, I walkDed into the Cadillac bar
and I laid my Acash down
I said there's plEenty more where that came from
and the lights went Aout
[Instrumental]
E E A A E E A A D D A A E E A A
[Verse]
Well I wEoke up in a county jail 'cross the line in LAaredo
With a hEeadache and a deputy staring at me through the Adoor
Well he said Now Dhow you got across
that river alive, I don't Aknow
But your wiEfe just made your bail
so now you're really dead for Asure
Now my wEife, she called my boss and cried
so I got my job bAack
And the Eboys down at the plant,
they whisper and stare at Ame
Yea well my Dwife can find a lot of little jobs
to keep me on the rAight track
Well, but that's a sEmall price to pay
for a week of living daAngerously
YeDah-ooh-oGoh-ooh-ooh-wAee
That's a smEall price to pay for a week of living daAngerously
[Bridge + Instrumental]
