To me twelve months is a long, long time
for someone to suddenly change their mind
he was in and out, now it's just too late
but i won't lose one night of sleep
worryin' about what was meant to be
his leavin' is just a reason to celebrate
Chorus
I'm on a mission, i got a cause
i'm gonna hit every rockin' little honky-tonk bar
and the way i'm thinkin', it ought to be against the law
gonna see what kind of 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'm workin' for
is that time when i can finally just cut loose
i got a few good friends and they're waitin' to go
just gimme some time to change my clothes
'til monday mornin', there ain't nothin' i gotta do
(chorus)
Ain't worried 'bout a five-day no-sleep business-week
no-escape workin'-girl blues
yeah, i'm just doin' what any other
modern day american woman might do
(chorus)
I'm on a mission and it's all about forgettin' tonight
i'm on a mission
