[Intro]
"So this is a song for all of you who've been with us for all the years we've been doing this. And we'll also do it for all you people who weren't alive when this song was a hit. It's called 'Come Monday.'"

[Verse 1]
Headin' up to San Francisco
For the Labor Day weekend show
I got my hush puppies on
I guess I never was meant for glitter, rock and roll

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Honey, I didn't know
That I'd be missing you so

[Chorus]
But come Monday, it'll be alright
Come Monday, I'll be holding you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze
And I just want you back by my side

[Verse 2]
Yes, it's quite a summer
Rent-a-cars and westbound trains
And now you're off on vacation
Some things are hard to explain

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yеs, but I love you so
That's the reason wе just had to go
