There's some friends that I know living 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.
