[Verse 1]
Well, I'm so tired of working every day
Now the weekend comes I'm gonna throw my troubles away
If you've got the cab fare, mister, we'll do all right
And I want to see the bright lights tonight

[Chorus]
Meet me at the station, don't be late
I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

[Verse 2]
Well, there are crazy people running all over town
There's a silver band just marching up and down
And the big boys are all spoiling for a fight
And I want to see the bright lights tonight

[Chorus]
Meet me at the station, don't be late
I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

[Verse 3]
Well a couple of drunken nights rolling on the floor
That's just the kind of mess I'm looking for
And I'm gonna drink till Monday comes in sight
'Cause I want to see the bright lights tonight
[Chorus]
Meet me at the station, don't be late
I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

[Outro]
Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight
