To me twelve months is a long, long time. Someone suddenly changed their mind, You were sendin' out, Now it's just too late. But I won't lose one night of sleep, Worrying about what was mean't to be. Yeah, 'cause leavin' Is just a reason to celebrate. I'm on a mission, I got a cause. I'm gonna hit every rockin' little honky-tonk bar, An' the way I'm thinkin', It oughta be against the law. Gonna see what kinda trouble I can find, I'm on a head-on collision with a real good time. I'm on a mission, And it's all about forgettin' tonight. Forty-hour week and I'm out the door, Seems like all I've been workin' for, Is that time when I can finallyjust cut loose. I got a few good friends and they're waitin' to go. Just gimme some time to change my clothes. Till Monday mornin', there ain't nothin' I gotta do. I'm on a mission, I got a cause. I'm gonna hit every rockin' little honky-tonk bar, An' the way I'm thinkin', It oughta be against the law. Gonna see what kinda trouble I can find, I'm on a head-on collision with a real good time. I'm on a mission, And it's all about forgettin' tonight, that's right. Ain't worried 'bout a five-day, no sleep, business week, no escape, workin' girl blues. Yeah, I'm a-just doin' what any other modern-day, American woman might do. I'm on a mission, I got a cause. I'm gonna hit every rockin' little honky-tonk bar, An' the way I'm thinkin', It oughta be against the law. Gonna see what kinda trouble I can find, I'm on a head-on collision with a real good time. I'm on a mission, And it's all about forgettin' tonight., that's right.
