Countin' Down The Days

Details

Description

[Verse 1]
Wake up early, tie on my shoes
Same ol’ coffee, same ol’ news
Boss man talkin’, I just smile
But I’m dreamin’ of freedom all the while
Punch that clock, nine to five
Feelin’ dead but stayin’ alive
Every tick of that second hand
Got me makin’ weekend plans

[Pre-Chorus]
These tired hands still tap the beat
Of freedom comin’ down the street
But Friday’s comin’ to set me free
Weekend’s callin’ out to me!
Can’t stop hummin’ my getaway song
I’ll be free before too long

[Chorus]
I’m countin’ down the days (hey hey!)
'Til I throw my cares away
Gonna dance, gonna sing
No alarm clocks, no meetings
Countin’ down the days, oh yeah
To feel that sweet weekend air
Gonna let my soul unwind
When the workweek’s left behind

I’m countin’ down the days (mmm-hmm!)
'Til I throw my cares away
Gonna laugh, gonna shine
Put that timecard far behind
Countin’ down the days, oh yeah
To a world without a care
Gonna live, love, and play
Come that sweet Saturday

[Verse 2]
Mmm, sweet freedom’s comin’
I can smell it in the breeze
No deadlines, no bosses
Just moments like these
Where the soul unwinds and the burdens fade
Where I’m rich in love, no bills to be paid
Ooooh, sweet freedom’s comin’
Let it wash me away

[Pre-Chorus]
These tired hands still tap the beat
Of freedom comin’ down the street
But Friday’s comin’ to set me free
Weekend’s callin’ out to me!
Can’t stop hummin’ my getaway song
I’ll be free before too long

[Chorus]
I’m countin’ down the days (hey hey!)
'Til I throw my cares away
Gonna dance, gonna sing
No alarm clocks, no meetings
Countin’ down the days, oh yeah
To feel that sweet weekend air
Gonna let my soul unwind
When the workweek’s left behind

I’m countin’ down the days (mmm-hmm!)
'Til I throw my cares away
Gonna laugh, gonna shine
Put that timecard far behind
Countin’ down the days, oh yeah
To a world without a care
Gonna live, love, and play
Come that sweet Saturday

[Bridge]
One more day, one more chore
Then I’m dancin’ out that door
Ooooh, I feel it in my bones
Freedom’s ringin’, take me home

[Chorus]
I’m countin’ down the days (hey hey!)
'Til I throw my cares away
Gonna dance, gonna sing
No alarm clocks, no meetings
Countin’ down the days, oh yeah
To feel that sweet weekend air
Gonna let my soul unwind
When the workweek’s left behind

I’m countin’ down the days (mmm-hmm!)
'Til I throw my cares away
Gonna laugh, gonna shine
Put that timecard far behind
Countin’ down the days, oh yeah
To a world without a care
Gonna live, love, and play
Come that sweet Saturday
