Ya
Ya
Ya
(Verse 1)
It’s Friday night and I’m feelin’ that twitch,
The Old truck’s gassed up, time to scratch that itch.
Got a place I know where the neon hums,
And the bad ideas start to sound like fun.
I ain’t lookin’ for a fight or fame,
But that little red dress keeps callin’ my name.
Ain’t nothin’ good ever comes around,
When I head out to that other side of town.
(Chorus)
So pour me that liquid courage, make it strong,
Let the burn in my chest help me sing along.
I’m tryin’ to drown that fear, not get drowned,
Before I go and make a mess of this town.
Yeah, tonight I’m hell-bound, no slowin’ down,
With a bottle full of brave on that other side of town.
(Verse 2)
Buddy said “man, don’t go back there,”
But I’ve never been one to take good care.
Got a pocket full of pride, and a past too loud,
And I’m headin’ where I don’t belong in that crowd.
Maybe she’s dancin’ with a brand new flame,
Maybe I’m stupid for rememberin’ her name.
But one more shot and I’ll stand my ground,
On that dim-lit road to that other side of town.
(Chorus)
So pour me that liquid courage, make it strong,
Let the burn in my chest help me sing along.
I’m tryin’ to drown that fear, not get drowned,
Before I go and make a mess of this town.
Yeah, tonight I’m hell-bound, no slowin’ down,
With a bottle full of brave on the other side of town.
(Bridge)
The whiskey whispers, “boy, she’s still yours,”
While my better sense walks out the door.
Ain’t nothin’ good ‘bout what I’m about to do,
But trouble’s got a smile, and I’m seein’ it through.
(Final Chorus)
So pour me that liquid courage, one last round,
Let the jukebox play while I spin around.
If I wake up broke, heart-tied, and bound,
At least I lived loud on the other side of town.
(Outro)
Yeah, the morning’ll come and I’ll settle down,
But tonight, I’m king… on that other side of town
