I show up for work on time at least five days a week

Punch that clock and toe the line just to make ends meet

Every day on my way home I pass them neon lights

But I been thinking all day long about stopping in tonight



I might get a little sideways

Like I did in the old days

Every once in awhile you know

I slip off the straight and narrow

Sitting down on a barstool

Cutting up like a dang fool

Now and then on Fridays

I might get a little sideways



I'm gonna call my baby up when that quitting whistle blows

Girl put on your dancing shoes and grab my party clothes

Meet me down at the rendezvous on highway seventeen

We'll stoke up that jukebox and let off a little steam



We might get a little sideways

Like we did in the old days

Every once in awhile you know

We slip off the straight and narrow

Sitting down on a barstool

Cutting up like a dang fool

Now and then on Fridays

We might get a little sideways
