I'm gonna spend it, yeah
'Cause I earned it, yeah
Forty hour week, ten hours overtime
Sitting in traffic, working all the time
Gonna drink it, yeah
I'll make it worth it, yeah

Straight from the bank to the honky-tonk
Burning a hole

Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?
Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?
Yeah, I've been waiting on you since Monday
And it's work, work, work
And I need a break
Won't you take my blues away?

I got cash, yeah
Should I save it, no
'Cause I'm buying rams like I'm crazy
Two for one for the ladies
'Cause they're fine, yeah
We'll be going all night

Straight from the bank to the honky-tonk
Burning a hole

Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?
Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?
Yeah, I've been waiting on you since Monday
And it's work, work, work
And I need a break
Won't you take my blues away?

So drink it, yeah
And spend it, yeah
'Cause we're climbing that ladder
Punching that clock
So raise them up

Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?
Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?
Yeah, I've been waiting on you since Monday
And it's work, work, work
And I need a break
Won't you take my blues away?
Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?
Paycheck, won't you take my blues away?
Yeah, I've been waiting on you since Monday
And it's work, work, work
And I need a break
Won't you take my blues away?
Oh yeah, babe
