I spent several years working at a small sawmill, catching cypress as it came off the saw blade. We got five minutes in the morning and five more in the afternoon as a break. That cold water and biscuit sure tasted good.

Early in the morning
It's already time to get up
You grab yourself a biscuit
And you get out in the yard
Early in the afternoon
You get a drink of water
Then it's back in the field
And it's back behind the plow

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday I will be here
Trying to make a living
On this sandy piece of land
Praying for the sun and rain
And praying for the weekend
Hanging on to what I've got
And doing all I can

But I'm living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
I can't wait 'til it's Friday night
I'll get myself a woman
And a big old glass of whiskey
And I will be dancing
'Til the morning light

Saturday and Sunday
Creep by like a bandit
The man on the news
Said everything'll be alright
'Long as we keep working
And spending all our money
Be careful not to talk back
And don't you ever fight
