On a Mission - Trick Pony

To me twelve months is a long, long time.

Someone suddenly changed their mind,

You were sendin’out,

Now it’s just too late.

But I won’t one night of sleep,

Worrying about what was mean’t to be.

Yeah, 'cause leavin'

Is just a reason to celebrate.

I’m on a mission, I got a cause.

I’m gonna hit every rockin’little honky-tonk bar,

An’the way I’m thinkin',

It oughta be against the law.

Gonna see what kinda trouble I can find,

I’m on a head-on collision with a real good time.

I’m on a mission,

And it’s all about forgettin’tonight.

Forty-hour week and I’m out the door,

Seems like all I’ve been workin’for,

Is that time when I can finallyjust cut loose.

I got a few good friends and they’re waitin’to go.

Just gimme some time to change my clothes.

Till Monday mornin', there ain’t nothin’I gotta do.

I’m on a mission, I got a cause.

I’m gonna hit every rockin’little honky-tonk bar,

An’the way I’m thinkin',

It oughta be against the law.

Gonna see what kinda trouble I can find,

I’m on a head-on collision with a real good time.

I’m on a mission,

And it’s all about forgettin’tonight, that’s right.

Ain’t worried 'bout a five-day, no sleep, business week, no escape,

workin’girl blues.

Yeah, I’m a-just doin’what any other modern-day, American woman might do.

I’m on a mission, I got a cause.

I’m gonna hit every rockin’little honky-tonk bar,

An’the way I’m thinkin',

It oughta be against the law.

Gonna see what kinda trouble I can find,

I’m on a head-on collision with a real good time.

I’m on a mission,

And it’s all about forgettin’tonight., that’s right.
