Payday - Boz Scaggs

Hey you steppin' on my head

Why you gotta throw rocks in my bed

Mr. Shoeshine, could you kindly keep it down

Do we really need an Apocalypse right now?

Where’s my sunshine, Sunshine was my friend

She was good to me, right up to the end

Where I left her, well it’s hard to tell

Got to call, just a soon as I get well

Come payday'

Everybody gets strange

Talking 'bout my Payday, hey hey

Better get out my way, baby

I don’t mind a job, work’s no big deal

It’s just how they treat you, how they make you feel

I’ll take my check, you take your mood

Let’s just say, whatever man, whatever gets you through

Come payday'

Blow those blues away, boy

Talking 'bout my Payday, hey hey

Don’t be waitin' up for me

Brothers, Sisters

Tonite we party, tonite we’re dancin'

Hey, we’re talkin' the ultimate smash of a lifetime

This one’s on me'.

(Solos) (8−10 measures)

Sometime’s it like a war in here, Face the night alone

But ever since I work up, felt it in my bones

Waiting for that hour’s all that keeps me clear

There’s gonna be some lightnin' strike when I get outta here

(quiet bass/guitar/drums) Cause it payday, y’all

Better stay out my way

Talking 'bout some hey day, hey hey

Man it’s all comin' home

Payday, gonna shake it all down tonite

Payday, Gonna do my dance tonite
