E I was late for work My boss is a jerk B7 He said don?t let it happen again B7 But when I got my check I said what the heck E I?ll spend a weeknight out with friends E The last thing I recall About the old dancehall A Was thinking I should probably get home soon B7 But at least I enjoyed becoming unemployed E I woke up at the crack of noon E A E That?s one less thing to worry about E B7 E Work was a jail and I busted out E A I got time on my hands and there ain?t no doubt B7 A E That?s one less thing to worry about There was a new girl in town And I seen her around She was the prettiest thing I?d seen I had a plan in mind How to make her mine At the fair out in Abilene Well I won her a prize And I looked in her eyes I thought that love I saw there was real But on a ride in the sky She met another guy Left me standing by the ferris wheel Chorus
