(Don’t Worry, Honey, It’s Just My) Weekend Blues
Not the song I set out to write, but I am happy with how it turned out. It is inspired by classic rock and roll, particularly Hound Dog by Elvis. It’s a high BPM song with an upbeat tune. The lyrics are a little sarcastic to show that he is lying in saying that he is fine. The song ends in half time (likely the wrong terminology, but you catch my meaning) for a more candid look into what’s floating through his head. If I can find the inspiration to write the song I wanted to write, you’ll see what I mean, so be on the lookout for another song. I’ll stay up until midnight writing it if I have to, lol.
Monday through Friday, I’m working nine to five
Working for a living, yeah, I’ve got to stay alive
Oh, no, baby, in that time, I’ve got nothing on my mind
You’d be impressed with how I deal with my stress
I’m at my best when I’m hard pressed
Oh, I never lose focus, and my head is clear
Why would I ever lie to you, my dear?
Oh, don’t worry, honey it’s just my weekend blues
Throughout the week, I’m fine, but about this time, there’s nothing I can do
Oh, don’t worry, honey, it’s just my weekend blues
Don’t worry, honey, it’s just my weekend blues
When I’m at home, I’m enthralled with you
You’re the best, I can’t keep my mind off you
Oh, no, baby, I’ve got nothing to hide, nothing on my mind
No, I’m not acting funny, not playing hard to get
Don’t worry ’bout me, I’ll be in bed before ten
Oh, I said that it’s nothing, and my head is clear
Why would I ever lie to you my dear?
Oh, don’t worry, honey it’s just my weekend blues
Throughout the week, I’m fine, but about this time, there’s nothing I can do
Oh, don’t worry, honey, it’s just my weekend blues
Don’t worry, honey, it’s just my weekend blues
When I’m awake, I’m alright, my dear
Everything is fine, you have nothing to fear
Oh, no, baby, I’m calm inside, nothing's on my mind
No, I’m not bitter, I’m just sparkly as glitter
You don’t need to bother, ’cause I’m warm as winter
Oh, I said that I’m fine, and my head is clear
Why would I ever lie to you my dear?
Oh, don’t worry, honey it’s just my weekend blues
Throughout the week, I’m fine, but about this time, there’s nothing I can do
Oh, don’t worry, honey, it’s just my weekend blues
Don’t worry, honey, it’s just my weekend blues
Oh, don’t worry, honey, it’s just my weekend blues
I said, don’t worry, honey, it’s just my weekend blues
Oh, don’t worry, honey, it’s just my weekend blues
Don’t worry, honey, it’s just my weekend blues
It’s just my weekend blues
My weekend blues
Oh, baby, I’m fine
So don’t you mind
The vacant stare in my eyes
You’re so accustomed to
This new way I look at you
You know that it’s not true
But I’m stuck in this pensive mood
Trying to find the right thing to do
You’re asking me questions, but getting no answers
As you hurt, you understand me better
I’m searching for truth
While losing my youth
I feel powerless, like there’s nothing I can do
But don’t worry, honey, it’s just my weekend blues
The emphasis in the outro here is the line “You’re asking me questions, but getting no answers/As you hurt, you understand me better.” This shows what he is going through. He has questions, he is looking for answers, but he is coming up empty. He thought he knew what God’s will was, but now he is unsure. The suspense and lack of an answer is killing him, causing him to wrestle with it all the time. He’s losing focus, he feels like he’s losing his sanity, and he just can’t escape the hurt. He feels forsaken, but he’s still searching. Looking for truth, even though it has taken him longer than he wants it to. He knows God will answer, but he’s losing heart.
