Got six bucks that's enough for a beer run
Now all we need is someone to do the buying
My buddy Lendell, he ain't never got no money
But he drinks up most the beer everytime

By nine o'clock got a half case between us
Pull into the quick pick Lendell had to have some smoke
There sit Susie in Billy Cotts camaro
Lendell gives her a wink Billy says, "Want ya neck broke?"

Their 'bout to go toe to toe
Here comes a cop car
Lendell says the cemetery bill
Well see how bad you are

Another Friday night in this oil patch town
Keep the beers outta sight when the state troopers come around
And we ain't lookin' for trouble wouldn't mind a fight
What else you gonna do it's just another Friday night

Billy says, "Let's get it on" and Lendell just slugs him
That's 'bout all the fightin' that got done
Sheriff pulls up he says "What you hoodlums doing?"
"Nothing much junior just tryin' to have some fun"

He's acting tough and taking names
And shuttin' us down
But at least we got something to talk about
When Monday rolls around

Another Friday night in this oil patch town
Keep the beers outta sight when the state troopers come around
Now we ain't lookin' for trouble wouldn't mind a fight
What else you gonna do it's just another Friday night
Friday night in this oil patch town
