The Weekend Lyrics - Young, Guitar Days - Steve Forbert

VERSE 

Oh, few things work out like you want 'em to 

But just do your best, it's the best you can do 

The sailboats are gliding to shore with the wind 

Go out and stroll about and find a friend 

VERSE 

Yeah the long week is gone--now the weekend's begun 

Go down and check the tavern, you might find some fun 

The girls from the high ridge are singing tonight 

Hang out and drink some wine and feel all right 

CHORUS 

Does your heart tell the truth when you're lying? 

#1 

Does your blues get you high when you're crying? 

Oooh, oooh now 

VERSE 

Yeah, the telephone's ringing, but nobody's home 

She's out for the ev'ning, but she's not out alone 

Of course you could find her, but what'd be the use? 

Hang out and drink some wine and just get juiced 

CHORUS 

Does your mind hit the groove when you're gleaming? 

#2 

Does your life start to live while you're dreaming? 

Oooh, oooh now 

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK) 

VERSE 

The slow week is gone, now the weekend will run 

Relax on a Sunday and soak up some sun 

There ain't much of nothin' that's free anymore 

But the sunshine's real fine and don't keep score 

CHORUS 

Do you think you could love one and only? 

#3 

Does your blues get you off when you're lonely? 

Oooh, oooh now
