[Verse 1]
Oh, didn't I mess around like everybody did?
I said, "Honey, you're foolin' around with a man that just don't fit"
I said, "I gotta get along to wear whatever suits my clothes"
I didn't think I would fit in anywhere I go

[Chorus]
Well it was alright for an hour, it was alright for a day
But it did not last, it did not last 'til the weekend
But I packed my bags and moved right away

[Verse 2]
I said hold on now, honey, you been spending all of my money
I been out, working around, spraying you on my bed
I don't mean you too bad, but you keep on getting sad
I couldn't live, moved on away, where the West Coast go, my love

[Chorus]
It was alright for an hour, it was alright for a day
But it did not last, it did not last 'til the weekend
And I packed my bags and moved right away, right away

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Trail left in the morning, when out on an early trek
Said I won't be back, honey child, you gotta move it all away
I'll take my dog and my car, and everything I own
I won't be droven around no more, gonna find myself a clone

[Chorus]
But it was alright for an hour, and it was alright for a day
But it did not last, it did not last 'til the weekend
When I got my bags and moved right away, right away
It was alright for an hour, and it was alright for a day
But it did not last, it did not last 'til the weekend
And I packed my bags and moved right away
It was alright for an hour, it was alright for a day
But it did not last, it did not last 'til the weekend
When I packed my bags and got on away
It was alright for an hour, it was alright for a day
But it did not last, it did not last 'til the weekend
And I packed my bags and moved right away, right away, right away
Yeah
