  I hit the weekend just like a freight

  I got there early – I couldn’t wait

  I made a friend or two along the way

  You want the detail but what can I say

  There’s the ballerina, the foreign cartel

  The opera singer, the southern belle

  They’ve all got something strange and new

  They’ve all got something but not like you

   

  Whoa oh oh oh oh x4

   

  It’ll take some time to get back on course

  I’ve got to find my runaway horse

  She was the best friend a man ever had

  Now I’m going down the road feeling bad

   

  Whoa oh oh oh oh x4

   

  Friday is forever, Saturday flies past

  Sunday starts coming down – the good ones never last

   

  What became of the red rooster after the tragedy

  What became of you, girl and what became of me

  I had good fortune – silver, silk and wool

  I gave it all away and now my heart is full

   

  Whoa oh oh oh oh x4

   

  I hit the weekend just like a freight

  I got there early – I couldn’t wait

  [/blockquote] I think it means that Saturday passes quickly. But English is not my native tongue, and I may have misheard the words.
