Punching that clock And putting in the time We ain't gonna stop Til the clock hits five Been working all week And I'm finally free I'm heading downtown To go and get me a drink Well the week was for working The weekend's for bourbon Fill up your glass and don't you worry bout nothing Lay down your burdens Let the whiskey get to burning Cause drinking bourbon beats the hell out of working I've been thinking bout drinking Yeah all week long I put a 20 in the Jukebox For drinking songs, well I'm singing whiskey river Til closing time And all rowdy friends Can drink to that all night Well the week was for working The weekend's for bourbon Fill up your glass and don't you worry bout nothing Lay down your burdens Let the whiskey get to burning Cause drinking bourbon beats the hell out of working Now I was sitting right there Just tending to my glass When some good ole boys in the corner Started acting like an ass Yeah, calling themselves kings The three wise men I'm drinking Old Americana Straight Kentucky my friend The week was for working The weekend's for bourbon Fill up your glass and don't you worry bout nothing Lay down your burdens Let the whiskey get to burning Cuz drinking bourbon beats the hell out of working The week was for working The weekend's for bourbon Fill up your glass and don't you worry bout nothing Lay down your burdens Let the whiskey get to burning Cuz drinking bourbon beats the hell out of working
