Lyrics
Good time
Work, work all week long
Punchin’ that clock from dusk to dawn
Countin’ the days ’til Friday night
That’s when all the conditions are right for a good time
I need a good time
Yeah, I’ve been workin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time
I cashed my check, cleaned my truck
Put on my hat, forgot about work
Sun goin’ down, head across town
Pick up my baby and turn it around
Good time
Oh, I need a good time
I’ve been workin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
Time for a good time
Hey!
Pig in the ground, beer on ice
Just like ol’ Hank taught us about
Singin’ along, Bocephus songs
Rowdy friends all night long
Good time
Lord, we’re having a good time
Yea, I’ve been workin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time
Woo!
Heel-toe, Dosey Doe
Scootin’ our boots, swingin’ doors
B & D Kix and Dunn
Honkin’ tonk heaven, Double shotgun
Good time
Lord, we’re havin’ a good time
‘Cause I’ve been workin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time
Shot of Tequila, beer on tap
Sweet southern woman sat on my lap
G with an O, O with a D
T with an I and an M and an E
And a good time
Shew, good time
I’ve been workin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time
Oh, turn it up now
A shot of Tequila
Beer on tap
A good-looking woman
To set on my lap
A G with an O, an O with a D
A T with an I, an M with an E
That spells good time
A good time (good time)
Ohh, I’ve been workin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
Time for a good time
Twelve o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock, four
Five o’clock we know where that’s gonna go
Closing the door, shuttin’ ’em down
Head for that Waffle House way across town
Good time
Ohh, we’re havin’ a good time
Ohh, I’ve been workin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time
Ohh, I’ve been workin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time
Ohh, I’ve been workin’ all week
And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It’s time for a good time
Ohh, yeah, a good time
I need a good time
Yeah, a good time
