Intro

Verse1

Well the beer's on the bar and the smoke fills the air

and there's a fool in every corner man I just don't care

tight pants, line dance, stetson hats and cowboy boots

they got a Friday night, get right, honky tonk attitude

Verse2

Well the waitress never leaves you with a half-empty glass

and every girl's on the dance floor shakin' her... well

it's a two step, three step, outta step, country mood

they got a Friday night, get right, honky tonk attitude

Bridge

Well now everybody knows that's where everybody goes

just to dance away their blues

so leave your cares behind, it's just a state of mind

what have you got to lose

we need a Friday night, get right, honky tonk attitude
