(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.
