Startin’ Monday

[Verse 1]
Startin' Monday
I'm cleanin' the slate
Gonna quit smokin'
Start losin' some weight
Tell someone I'm sorry
Oh its gonna be great
Startin' Monday

[Verse 2]
Startin' Monday
I'll be cheatin' fate
Here, I've written it down
I've circled the date
Right now is not good
But I'll charge out the gate
Startin' Monday

[Chorus 1]
I know I've said it before
But this time I'm determined
To be what I know I can be
Don't need a "how-to" book
Or some do-gooder's sermon
To change my own destiny

[Verse 3]
But startin' Monday
I'll be playin' it straight
Choosin' only the good things
To put on my plate
Reversin' the engine
Rewindin' the tape
Startin' Monday

[Chorus 2]
I'm well aware of the fact
I've got only a weekend
To get all my ducks in a row
I'll be workin' real hard
To get out of my system
A few wild oats left to sow

[Verse 4]
But startin' Monday
There'll be no debate
I'll start readin' my Bible
Rise early, work late
Recycle, stay sober
Choose love over hate
Startin' Monday

[Outro]
Startin' Monday
Fix all my mistakes
Startin' Monday
