There's some friends that I know l
Lving in this town
And I've come far to see them
Gonna track em' down
They live in a brick house 
Painted white and brown

Left a tip for the maid
And I packed up my guitar
Dropped my key on the counter, 
Rented a car
Gonna hook up with em' later 
And go hit the bars

I need a big weekend.
Kick up the dust
Yeah a big weekend
If you don't run, you 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
There's times when I'm down and there's nothing to blame

I need a big weekend
Kick up the dust
Yeah a big weekend
If you don't run, you rust

I can work, I can travel, sleep anywhere
Cross every border with nothing to declare
You can look back, babe
But it's best not to stare

I need a big weekend
Kick up the dust
Yeah a big weekend
If you don't run, you rust
