(Ira Dean/David Lee Murphy/Kim Tribble)

To Me Twelve Months Is A Long, Long Time.
Someone Suddenly Changed Their Mind,
You Were Sendin' Out,
Now It's Just Too Late.
But I Won't One Night Of Sleep,
Worrying About What Was Mean't To Be.
Yeah, 'cause Leavin'
Is Just A Reason To Celebrate.

I'm On A Mission, I Got A Cause.
I'm Gonna Hit Every Rockin' Little Honky-tonk Bar,
An' The Way I'm Thinkin',
It Oughta Be Against The Law.
Gonna See What Kinda 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've Been Workin' For,
Is That Time When I Can Finallyjust Cut Loose.
I Got A Few Good Friends And They're Waitin' To Go.
Just Gimme Some Time To Change My Clothes.
Till Monday Mornin', There Ain't Nothin' I Gotta Do.

I'm On A Mission, I Got A Cause.
I'm Gonna Hit Every Rockin' Little Honky-tonk Bar,
An' The Way I'm Thinkin',
It Oughta Be Against The Law.
Gonna See What Kinda 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, That's Right.

Ain't Worried 'bout A Five-day, No Sleep, Business Week, No Escape, Workin' Girl Blues.
Yeah, I'm A-just Doin' What Any Other Modern-day, American Woman Might Do.

I'm On A Mission, I Got A Cause.
I'm Gonna Hit Every Rockin' Little Honky-tonk Bar,
An' The Way I'm Thinkin',
It Oughta Be Against The Law.
Gonna See What Kinda 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., That's Right.
