The Week of Living Dangerously
Steve Earle
Well I got outa work and I headed for the neighborhood Abeer joint
I sat arEound and had a beer with the boys like I always Ado
Well I diDdn’t have nothin’ to say and well there aint Ano point
There’sE something about a Monday that always makes meA blue
Well it was way afAter dark so I knew my wife and kids were waitin’ A E
And I guess I took a left where I geneArally take a right D
Well I filled ‘er up with gas and checkedA the oil at the Texaco station E
I threw the car seat into the dumpster and headedA out into the night
BRIDGE
WDoooo-ooo-oo-Goo blue moAod. (moon?) E
There’s somAethin’ ‘bout a Monday that always makes me blue
Well I hEeaded south on 35 hell bent for BAaudo(?)
I’dE never had the truck up past 75 Abefore D
Well there’s something ‘bout that littleA red line always looked so final
Buddy yEou’d be surprised how fast a Chevrolet truck caAn go
Now in MEexico they got a little place called ABoy’s Town
Where a Eman is still a man if you know what I’m talkinA’ about
Well I waDlked into the Cadillac Bar and I laid my Acash down
I said “TEhere’s plenty more where that came from.” And the lights Awent out
BRIDGE
WDoooo-ooo-Goo-oo blue mAood. (moon?)
There’s Esomethin’ ‘bout a Monday that always makeAs me blue

Well I wEoke up in the county jail across the line in LAaredo
I had a hEeadache and the deputy was a starin’ at me through thAe door
He said ?D??how you got across that river alive I don?A??t know,
But you wEife just made your bail so now your in her debt for Asure.”
Now my wEife she called my boss and she lied so I got my job Aback
And the Eboys down at the plant they whisper and stare at Ame
Well my wDife she finds a lot of little jobs to keep me on the rAight track
That’s Ea small price to pay for a week of livingA dangerously
WoDooo-ooo-Gooo-oo blAue me
That’s aE small price to pay for a week of livingA dangerously
