Lyrics
?Fifty-Three Weekends?
© 2003 Don Reynolds
Verse 1
She said we?re going to the Johnson?s house on Friday night
A barbeque on Saturday if the weather is right
On Sunday there is church and a wedding to attend
I couldn?t help but think there goes my weekend again
Pre Chorus
Fifty-two weekends feel more like two
Not enough weekends or too much to do
Chorus
Fifty-three weekends that?s what I need
Fifty-three weekends one for me
All of those weekends where do they go
I need one just to take things slow
Fifty-three weekends that?s what I need
Fifty-three weekends one for me
Verse 1
My boss told me on Thursday we are falling way behind
He said we need you Saturday for some overtime
On Sunday if you can would you work at least ?till ten
I couldn?t help but think there goes my weekend again
Pre Chorus- Repeat
Chorus-Repeat
Bridge
And now it?s time to paint the kitchen, bedroom and the den
I couldn?t help but think there goes my weekend again
Tend to the horses, fix the shed (Alt. Wording: Mow the front yard and clean the shed)
Work on the old truck and go to bed (Alt. Wording: Pay all the bills and go to bed)
Chorus Variation
All of those weekends and no time for me
Fifty-two weekends I need fifty-three
Fifty-three weekends that?s what I need
Fifty-three weekends one for me (Alt. Wording: Fifty-two for her and one for me)
Weekend by weekend going going gone
I worn out can you save me one
Fifty-three weekends that?s what I need
Fifty-three weekends one for me
Fifty-three weekends that?s what I need
Fifty-three weekends one for me
