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 lose 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 finally just 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 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

I'm on a mission
And it's all about forgettin' tonight, that's right

I'm on a mission
