[Verse 1] There's some friends that I know Living in this town And I've come far to see them I'm gonna track 'em down They live in a brick house Painted white and brown [Verse 2] Left a tip for the maid And I packed up my guitar Drop my key on the counter Rented a car Gonna hook up with 'em later And go hit the bar [Chorus] I need a big weekend Kick up the dust I need a big weekend If you don't run you rust [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] [Long instrumental] [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus]
