Lyrics

One to Go
Written by: Joseph Jackson

When I left home this morning, before the sun came up.
I could smell the weekend, over the coffee in my cup.
I?ve got country on the radio, the mornings traffic is where I land.
I?ve got nothing to do tomorrow, but I?ve started to make my plans.

Cause I?ve worked four days and got one to go,
I gotta keep on going.
The moment I stop to watch that clock,
It seems like the time starts moving slow.
And it?s been four days with one to go,
I gotta keep on going.
And I won?t stop till I punch that clock,
Then I?m out the door.

Now I ain?t in a hurry, but I don?t want to be late.
So far it?s a good mood Friday, don?t need the boss man yelling my way.
When I pulled into the parking lot, I start talking to a friend.
He says,?Let?s go fishing this weekend.? Let the countdown begin.

Cause I?ve worked four days and got one to go,
I gotta keep on going.
The moment I stop to watch that clock,
It seems like the time starts moving slow.
And it?s been four days with one to go,
I gotta keep on going.
And I won?t stop till I punch that clock,
Then I?m out the door.

Well Monday?s one we all despise, and Tuesday feels the same.
But after Wednesday and Thursday come to pass,
You know that you?re close to that time again.

Now I?ve worked four days and got one to go,
I gotta keep on going.
The moment I stop to watch that clock,
It seems like the time starts moving slow.
And it?s been four days with one to go,
I gotta keep on going.
And I won?t stop till I punch that clock,
Then I?m out the door.
