Mama always said go fast so I went fast.  Yes I really really went fast.
Then she told me to go slow, so I went really slow.
In the middle of the jungle it's a dog fight, and you'll never get a free ride.
That's why I'm always feeling uptight, and the shit is getting old.

Chorus
But it's Friday. I got a date with a pretty lady.
Maybe, maybe she'll send me on my way.
But if I had my way, my way. I'd love her all through the weekdays.
I want her to send me on my way all the time.

I think about just leaving or just breathing, but I'm never believing.
And I'm always feeling uptight when the money don't seem to flow.
In the middle of a shipyard on the south side where the boys really work hard.
Times gonna go real fast so I might as well relax.  

Repeat chorus

No I never never knew you, but I screwed you, and my brother tatooed you.  
If you're thinking where you been last then you might as well relax. 
In the middle of a shipyard on the south side where the boys really work hard.
Times gonna go real fast so you might as well relax. 

Repeat chorus again
