[Verse 1]
Alarm at six
Eyes like sand
Boss wants blood
From an empty hand
Emails climb
Like a losing score
Clock hits five
They add ten more
[Chorus]
So pour one for the weekend
Let it melt that working man ache
Little burn on the way down
Takes the weight off every mistake
Raise a glass to the long days
All the fights I can't seem to win
Pour one for the weekend
Feel it washing Friday off my skin
[Verse 2]
Traffic sits
Red lights stay
Radio laughs
At my kind of day
Tie comes off
By the kitchen chair
That first sip
Says “you made it here” (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
So pour one for the weekend
Let it melt that working man ache
Little burn on the way down
Takes the weight off every mistake
Raise a glass to the long days
All the fights I can't seem to win
Pour one for the weekend
Feel it washing Friday off my skin
[Bridge]
Maybe I’ll sleep in
Maybe I won’t think
’Bout deadlines and headlines
Just this rust-colored drink
One more slow swallow
Then I’ll call it a night
But for three sweet seconds
Everything feels right
[Chorus]
So pour one for the weekend
Let it melt that working man ache
Little burn on the way down
Takes the weight off every mistake
Raise a glass to the long days
All the fights I can't seem to win
Pour one for the weekend
Feel it washing Friday off my skin
