I Wish It Was Friday - Chuck Mead

I wake up every morning

At the start of every week

I pull on my work boots

And feel my old bones creak

Lord I wish it was Friday

At the end of the week

48 hours to live my life in peace

Daddy drove an 18 wheeler

He was always on the road

Sometimes I’d hear Mama ask him

When are you coming home?

Caesar ruled the western world

From the golden streets of Rome

You could hear him scream from the Senate floor

«Get Brutus on the telephone»

Superman said to Batman

I know justice will prevail

But my feet feel just like Kryptonite

And this cave is cold as Hell

Moses came off the mountain

Tablets in his hand

He said «I sure could use a shower

To wash off all this sand»

Jesus was a carpenter

He worked 14 hour days

If he was here with us right now

I’ll bet you’d hear him say
