[N] There's some friends that I know living in this town and I've come far to see them.
Gonna track them down.
[A] They live in a great house, painted white [D] and brown.
Left their chips before they made and I packed up my guitar, dropped my key on the counter.
Ran in a car, gonna [A] hook up with them later.
Ain't no hip [D] hop bars.
I need a big [A]
weekend, get out the dust.
Yeah, a big weekend, if you [D] don't run to rust.
Well, I may shake your hand, but I won't know your name.
The joke in your language don't come out the same.
[A] There's times when I'm down and there's nothing [D] to blame.
I need a big [A]
weekend, get out the dust.
Yeah, a big weekend, if you [D] don't run to rust.
[A]
I [D]
[A]
[D]
can work, I can travel, sleep anywhere.
Cross every border with nothing to declare.
[A] You can look back, but it's best not to [D] stare.
I need a big [A]
weekend, get out the dust.
Yeah, a big weekend, if you don't run to rust.
