[Lyrics] [Intro] [Acoustic guitar start, building into a mid-tempo country rock groove] [Verse 1] Still feel the laughter from the weekend fade While I’m dragging my bones from the sheets Family Sunday felt like a million bucks But now I’m shuffling on tired feet Had a rough night fighting with the shadows Couldn't catch a single wink of sleep [Chorus] It’s Monday on one hour of sleep I’m upright but I’m running on cheap Got a heavy workload hitting like a wave Digging deep And I’m smiling just so I don’t scream It’s Monday on one hour of sleep Just dragging these feet through the week If I make it to the lunch break seat That’s a win That’s a win for me [Verse 2] Counting down the minutes 'til the kettle boils I need that black gold just to stand Got a long day of heavy lifting coming up With a shaky grip and trembling hands Maybe it’s bikes or it’s heavy metal grills Building patio sets in a weary land [Chorus] It’s Monday on one hour of sleep I’m upright but I’m running on cheap Got a heavy workload hitting like a wave Digging deep And I’m smiling just so I don’t scream It’s Monday on one hour of sleep Just dragging these feet through the week If I make it to the lunch break seat That’s a win That’s a win for me [Bridge] [whispered vocals, music strips back to a steady beat] God only knows what they’ll throw my way Just trying to survive the start of the day Heart keeps saying “you’ve done worse” Body answers “this still hurts” The fluorescent lights are a heavy curse [Verse 3] Wrench in my hand and my brain in a fog Staring at a manual I can’t even read The warehouse floor feels a mile long Focusing is the only thing I need Just waiting for the clock to pick up speed [Outro] Bikes and grills and tired eyes Waiting for the sun to leave the skies On one hour Just one hour I’m gonna make it God willing in His name I pray I do [Final strum, fade out] ©2025 By Matthew E Treviño
