[Verse 1]

Well, the beer's on the bar and the smoke fills the air

There's a fool in every corner, man, that just don't care

Tight pants, line dance, Stetson hats and cowboy boots

They got a Friday night, get right, honky tonk attitude


[Verse 2]

Well, the waitress never leaves you with a half-empty glass

And every girl's on the dance floor shaking her

Well, it's a two-step, three-step, outta step country groove

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?


[Refrain]

Hey bartender, pour up another round

We're just getting 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


[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?


[Instrumental Break]


[Refrain]

Hey bartender, pour up another round

We're just getting 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


[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?

But what have you got to lose


[Outro]

If you've got a Friday night, get right honky tonk attitude

Yeah, you need a Friday night, get right honky tonk attitude
