  • 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
    Wanna 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
    And 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 Writer/s: Dan Alley, Neil Medley, Ryan Beaver
