Headin' up to San Francisco

For the Labor Day week-end show

I've got my hush-puppies on

I guess I never was meant for glitter rock and

roll

And Honey I didn't know

That I'd be missin' you so

Chorus:

Come Monday, it'll be all right

Come Monday, I'll be holdin' you tight

I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze

And I just want you back by my side

Yes, it's been quite a summer

Rent-a-cars and west-bound trains

And now you're off on vacation

Something you tried to explain

And Darlin' it's I love you so

That's the reason I just let you go

Come Monday, it'll be all right

Come Monday, I'll be holdin' you tight

I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze

And I just want you back by my side

I can't help it honey

You're that much a part of me now

Remember that night in Montana

When we said there'd be no room for doubt

I hope you're enjoyin' the scen'ry

I know that it's pretty up there

We can go hikin' on Tuesday

With you I'd walk anywhere

California has worn me quite thin

I just can't wait to see you again

Come Monday, it'll be all right

Come Monday, I'll be holdin' you tight

I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze

And I just want you back by my side

I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze

And I just want you back by my side
