It’s nine o’clock on Friday Think you ought to let loose and tie one on Been workin’ all week and you just can’t wait To find a cover band playin’ every Haggard song If you’re lookin’ for a good time, y’all, let me tell ya ‘bout this hole in the wall Down on the corner of “howdy” and “yeehaw” Where the boots’ll scoot and the lights are low Where there’s neon smoke and the beer is cold So raise a glass to the honky tonk helluva time waitin’ here Cheers So slide on into those old Levi’s Your rowdy friends are there just waitin’ to see ya They got the redneck party ragin’ tonight So get off the ol’ wagon and get on the tequila If you’re lookin’ for a good time, y’all, let me tell ya ‘bout this hole in the wall Down on the corner of “howdy” and “yeehaw” Where the boots’ll scoot and the lights are low Where there’s neon smoke and the beer is cold So raise a glass to the honky tonk helluva time waitin’ here Cheers If you’re lookin’ for a good time, y’all, let me tell ya ‘bout this hole in the wall Down on the corner of “howdy” and “yeehaw” Where the boots’ll scoot and the lights are low Where there’s neon smoke and the beer is cold So raise a glass to the honky tonk helluva time waitin’ here Oh, cheers

You’ve been walkin’ around with a spring in your step for a couple weeks I know what it means and I bet you think I’ll turn the other cheek Yeah I know you’ve been sneakin’ around, I can tell You don’t know what you started, boy, I wish you well ‘Cause two can play at this game, honey Laced up my sneakers and I’m gonna give you a run for your money If you cheat on me, I’ll cheat right back Won’t sit around, ain’t got time for that I ain’t no stand-by-your-man kinda lady; won’t play the fool if I see you actin’ shady No, you know what I’ll do If you cheat on me, I’ll cheat on you Don’t think I didn’t notice that lipstick on your collar yesterday Or how every time you read a new text you’ve gotta turn away Baby I ain’t blind I see it on your face And if you weren’t so dense, you’d look at me and see the same ‘Cause two can play at this game, honey Laced up my sneakers and I’m gonna give you a run for your money If you cheat on me, I’ll cheat right back Won’t sit around, ain’t got time for that I ain’t no stand-by-your-man kinda lady; won’t play the fool if I see you actin’ shady No, you know what I’ll do If you cheat on me, I’ll cheat on you Make no mistake, yeah honey, I’m leavin’ But before I do that, I’m gonna get even If you cheat on me, I’ll cheat right back Won’t sit around, ain’t got time for that I ain’t no stand-by-your-man kinda lady; won’t play the fool if I see you actin’ shady No, you know what I’ll do If you cheat on me, I’ll cheat on you If you cheat on me, watch and see, I’ll cheat on you

Break Up with Me 04:11
lyrics

Would you mind taking the blame and being the bad guy? Would you mind tellin’ me how it just never felt right? Could you be the one to unravel it all, cut the cord, and set me free? I don’t have the heart to do it, so could you break up with me? Break up with me; I promise I’ll take it well Break up with me; I can’t do it all by myself Oh I can’t be to blame for all of the pain I know I’d put you through Break up with me, so I don’t have to break up with you That fight we had when you said it was over Sometimes I wish that I’d just let you go But I begged you to stay and you fell back in love and now I just can’t believe That all I want you to do is please break up with me Break up with me; I promise I’ll take it well Break up with me; I can’t do it all by myself Oh I can’t be to blame for all of the pain I know I’d put you through Break up with me, so I don’t have to break up with you I used to be the leavin’ kind, I’d walk right out the door, no changin’ my mind It used to be so easy for me, but this time I need you to set us both free Break up with me; I promise I’ll take it well Break up with me; I can’t do it all by myself Oh I can’t be to blame for all of the pain I know I’d put you through Break up with me, so I don’t have to break up with you

That Door 02:51
lyrics

He burst through it one night after one too many Bud Lights at the bar She went out and changed the locks while he was workin’ his Monday shift at Walmart He came home to find that it wasn’t home anymore She left his things on the outside of that door That door’s seen it all, it takes all the abuse All the slammin’ in and out these ol’ hearts put it through All the gone and back and gone again It never stops swingin’ back and forth That door She slipped on through it after curfew had long gone She prayed they wouldn’t hear it shut, turn on the lights to see what’s goin’ on Fresh tears in her eyes from moments before He said goodbye on the other side of that door That door’s seen it all, it takes all the abuse All the slammin’ in and out these ol’ hearts put it through All the gone and back and gone again It never stops swingin’ back and forth That door From the newlyweds first home, love lasts forever ‘til it’s gone To the kids sneakin’ in tryin’ to cover their tracks To the ones who know it just don’t work but keep makin’ midnight calls And the one that got away that keeps comin’ back That door’s seen it all, it takes all the abuse All the slammin’ in and out these ol’ hearts put it through All the gone and back and gone again It never stops swingin’ back and forth That door

The Music in Me 02:56
lyrics

Came into this world with a song in my heart Somethin’ to sing when I can’t find words to say Everything’s alright when I grab my guitar Even when I don’t, it knows just what to say The music in me, it saves my life When I’m lost in the dark, it shines a light Guidin’ me through, Lord where would I be? Without the music in me All the pain life can give, every mess I create The melodies know what I need before I even do No other remedy or therapy could ever equate To healing I feel when I sing my way through The music in me, it saves my life When I’m lost in the dark, it shines a light Guidin’ me through, Lord where would I be? Without the music in me Whenever the world gets too cold and life knocks me down I know I’m never alone when I hear that sound The music in me, it saves my life When I’m lost in the dark, it shines a light Guidin’ me through, Lord where would I be? Without the music in me Oh, without the music in me
