Another long, hard working day gone
Time to pack it up and head on home
Sun's gonna rise and I know I've gotta do it all over again
There's only two ways through this town
And I don't ever take the other way around
I see the lights and I slow down, it's like they pull me in
I was gonna drive by, wasn't gonna stop
Then my old truck found a front row spot
Gonna drop in but I wasn't gonna stay
Then I heard a barstool calling my name
Wasn't gonna let the bar twist my arm
But I'm helpless in a honky tonk
Said I wasn't gonna drink
And then a country song came on
I was almost one boot out of the door
When the band kicked in two, three, four
Blame it on ETC for keeping that neon burning on me
I was gonna drive by, wasn't gonna stop
Then my old truck found a front row spot
Gonna drop in but I wasn't gonna stay
Then I heard a barstool calling my name
Wasn't gonna let the bar twist my arm
But I'm helpless in a honky tonk
Said I wasn't gonna drink
And then a country song came on, yeah
I was gonna get a good night's sleep
And then a country song came on
Save it for the end of the week
But then a country song came on
I was gonna drive by, wasn't gonna stop
Then my old truck found a front row spot
Gonna drop in but I wasn't gonna stay
Then I heard an old flame calling my name
Wasn't gonna let the bar twist my arm
But I'm helpless in a honky tonk
Said I wasn't gonna drink
And then a country song came on
I wasn't gonna drink
Then a country song came on
No, I wasn't gonna drink
Yeah, a country song came on
