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 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 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 Hey bartender pour us another round, We're just get gettin' started don't shut us down We need a slow dance, romanced, last chance rendezvous We need a Friday night, get right, honky tonk attitude If you've got a Friday night, get right, honky tonk attitude Yeah you need a Friday night, get right, honky tonk attitude
