[Verse 1]

He watches the clock on a Friday

The hands moving slower with time

It's 4:55

He can't wait to drive

His ass home and get out of his tie

[Verse 2]

He calls up his boys on the telephone

He says "Let's not sit & be bored

Let's light up Kentucky

Maybe we'll get lucky

It's been so damn long since I've scored"

[Chorus]

Let's have 3 cheers for the weekend

Let's all raise our glasses to us

Hip hip hooray for my best friends

Come on now, let's go get fucked up

[Verse 3]

Goddammit, this week was a rough one

Everyday he's chewed out by his boss

So sick of his bullshit

Now it's time to forget

It all, cuz they're hittin the sauce

[Verse 4]

4 shots of Jameson later

5 or 6 beers afterwards

That blonde's lookin good

He says "maybe we should"

She smiles and says "my place or yours"

[Chorus]

Let's have 3 cheers for the weekend

Let's all raise our glasses to us

Hip hip hooray for my best friends

Come on now, let's go get fucked up

[Verse 5]

Last call's come and gone, now the bar's closed

The crew stumbles out to the car

She asks "can you drive"

He says "sure I'll be fine

We don't have to go very far"

[Verse 6]

The boulevard blurs out of focus

He's trying to hide his mistake

They see headlights ahead

She screams "the light's red"

They make impact before he can brake

[Verse 7]

Her body goes right through the windshield

The airbag explodes in his face

If he just didn't drive

They'd still be alive

Now their choices, they can't be retraced

[Chorus]

Let's have 3 cheers for the weekend

Let's all raise our glasses to us

Hip hip hooray for my best friends

Come on now, let's go get fucked up
