Verse 1 Was drinking coffee Monday morning, my mind started to drift Thinking about my old crew, near the time they start their shift Sickness stepped in like a thief and took my job away Wanted to end my career on my terms, but I had no say. Pre-Chorus The hardest part was saying goodbye, When I think about the guys at the shanty, I get a tear in my eye. Chorus I miss Mondays, never thought I would, The hardest days are the ones that felt so good. I gave all the sweat I had every single day But those days have come and gone away I used to work for Fridays But as I have my coffee and toast I miss Mondays the most. Verse 2 I miss switching cars on the lead when the snow was rolling in. I miss switching cars on the lead when the snow was rolling in. Tying brakes and lacing air, just to do it all again. I miss riding the rails and spotting cars, I did it from dusk to dawn. Inspecting trains as they passed by, now all that work is gone. Pre-Chorus I even miss hump day, when we were halfway done. I’d do anything just to make another run. Chorus I miss Mondays, never thought I would, The hardest days are the ones that felt so good. I gave all the sweat I had every single day But those days have come and gone away I used to work for Fridays But as I have my coffee and toast I miss Mondays the most. Bridge I can still remember the early years riding a caboose, Waving at the kids and taking in the views. Through the hills around that horseshoe bend, I thought those days would never end. Chorus I miss Mondays, never thought I would, The hardest days are the ones that felt so good. I gave all the sweat I had every single day But those days have come and gone away I used to work for Fridays But as I have my coffee and toast I still miss Mondays the most. Outro I miss Mondays. Yeah, I miss Mondays the most
