I was late for work
  My boss is a jerk
  
  He said don’t let it happen again
  But when I got my check
  I said what the heck
  I’ll spend a weeknight out with friends
  
  The last thing I recall
  
  About the old dancehall
  Was thinking I should probably get home soon
  But at least I enjoyed becoming unemployed
  I woke up at the crack of noon
  
  That’s one less thing to worry about
  Work was a jail and I busted out
  I got time on my hands and there ain’t no doubt
  That’s one less thing to worry about
  
  There was a new girl in town
  And I seen her around
  She was the prettiest thing I’d seen
  I had a plan in mind
  How to make her mine
  At the fair out in Abilene
  
  Well I won her a prize
  And I looked in her eyes
  I thought that love I saw there was real
  But on a ride in the sky
  She met another guy
  Left me standing by the ferris wheel
  
  Chorus
