I'm gonna spend, yeah

Cause I earned it, yeah

Forty hour week, ten hours overtime

Sitting in traffic, working all the time

Gonna drink it, yeah

I'll make it worth it, yeah



Straight from the bank to the honky-tonk

Burning a hole



Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?

Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?

Yeah, I've been waiting on you since Monday

And it's work, work, work

And I need a break

Won't you take my blues away?



I got cash, yeah

Should I save it? No

Cause I'm buying rams like I'm crazy

Two for one for the ladies

Cause they're fine, yeah

We'll be going all night



Straight from the bank to the honky-tonk

Burning a hole



Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?

Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?

Yeah, I've been waiting on you since Monday

And it's work, work, work

And I need a break

Won't you take my blues away?



So drink it, yeah

And spend it, yeah

Cause we're climbing that ladder

Punching that clock

So raise them up



Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?

Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?

Yeah, I've been waiting on you since Monday

And it's work, work, work

And I need a break

Won't you take my blues away?

Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?

Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?

Yeah, I've been waiting on you since Monday

And it's work, work, work

And I need a break

Won't you take my blues away?
