The Sunny Cowgirls – Drinking Down Our Pay lyrics

Roll out of bed on a monday morning
Already the boss is calling
Slept in a little too late
I reckon last night was a big mistake
I'm dry as a chip, my head aches
I know it's gonna be a long five days

Now we'll be mustering cattle for most of the day
Cleaning out troughs and feeding out hay
Fix a gate on the boundary fence
Than it's back to the yards to brand and drench
Got a sale on Wednesday morning, load 'em up at the crack of dawn
Long days and not much pay, you earn your beer so I can't complain

Waitin' for Friday to come, see the boss grab the check and run
We work for our board, we work for our keep
And we work for our turps at the end of the week

We got a 95k trip into town
We'll be cruisin' down the road when the sun goes down
Couldn't be a better time of day
And I know this one is gonna be a bender
It'll be one to remember
Friday, Saturday, Sunday all the way
We're drinking down our pay

10am wake up at the pub
Brush our teeth and get some grub
Today gonna go for a drive the rugby's on in Narrabri
Go along cheer on the boys
Us girls are gonna make some noise
Got a slab in the esky too
We're all set 'til the game is through

Gotta get back into town
Fill her up and the foot goes down
There's a party on at Spud's tonight
So we do it all again until the morning light

We got a 95k trip into town
We'll be cruisin' down the road when the sun goes down
Couldn't be a better time of day
And I know this one is gonna be a bender
It'll be one to remember
Friday, Saturday, Sunday all the way
We're drinking down our pay

Next week will drag, but that's ok
We live for the weekend
When friday afternoon is here
It starts all up again

We got a 95k trip into town
We'll be cruisin' down the road when the sun goes down
Couldn't be a better time of day
And I know this one is gonna be a bender
It'll be one to remember
Friday, Saturday, Sunday all the way
Oh Friday, Saturday, Sunday all the way
We're drinking down our pay
