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

CHORUS
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
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

We need a Friday night, get right, Honky tonk attitude
