WAITING ON MONDAY


Woke up in my clothes again this morning

Couch cushion imprint on my cheek

I haven’t had a night’s rest here without you

And I can’t go on with this lack of sleep

You’ve been gone three days since Delta took you

Back to see your mom and your old friends

Everything is fine here where your heart is

But I can’t wait ‘till you’re back home again


Did the dirty dishes got the laundry put away

Did I forget to say I miss you?  I think about you night and day


Waiting on Monday when you get home

I can’t stand another Tuesday on my own

We’ll watch the West Wing Wednesday

And get together with friends on Thursday night

Friday we’ll get a sitter for the kids

We can spend some time alone

Then do the park on Saturday church on Sunday

But here I am just waiting on Monday


Alarm clock ringing in my right ear

Smell Mr. Coffee brewing down the hall

Drag myself out of the bed and to the kitchen

Pack the lunches and get the kids to school

Thought my eight to five was really working

Now I know a woman’s work is never done

This little trip you’re taking you deserve it

But I hope you get back home while I’m still     young

Did the dirty dishes got the laundry put away

Did I forget to say I miss you?  I think about you night and day


Waiting on Monday when you get home

I can’t stand another Tuesday on my own

We’ll watch the West Wing Wednesday

And get together with friends on Thursday night

Friday we’ll get a sitter for the kids

We can spend some time alone

Then do the park on Saturday church on Sunday

But here I am just waiting on Monday


I’ve been counting every minute that goes by

There’s nothing funny about the way that time don’t fly

When you’re waiting on Monday


Waiting on Monday when you get home

I can’t stand another Tuesday on my own

We’ll watch the West Wing Wednesday

And get together with friends on Thursday night

Friday we’ll get a sitter for the kids

We can spend some time alone

Then do the park on Saturday church on Sunday

But here I am just waiting on Monday
