If We're Not Back in Love By Monday - Merle Haggard

We can call Mrs Johnson to keep the kids a day or two

Take the early flight to Florida just the way we used to do

Let room service bring us breakfast make love all through the day

If we’re not back in love by Monday we can go our sep’rate ways.

If we’re not back in love by Monday we can’t say we didn’t try

But before we burry our love let’s make sure we’ve let it die

Sleep a few more nights together say the things we used to say

If we’re not back in love by Monday we can go our sep’rate ways.

We could find that little cafe with the funny sounding name

Get the table by the window I’ll say I love you once again

If the violin player’s still there we’ll dance you until the break of day

If we’re not back in love by Monday we can go our sep’rate ways.

If we’re not back in love by Monday we can’t say we didn’t try

But before we burry our love let’s make sure we’ve let it die

Sleep a few more nights together say the things we used to say

If we’re not back in love by Monday we can go our sep’rate ways…
