D7
It's the middle of the week

I'm just drivin' home
G
The sun's goin' down and nothin's goin' on
D7
They play "Whiskey River" I turn it up
G ***
And suddenly it hit me how thirsty I was

'Bout that right now
G **
So I think I'm gonna head downtown and get loud

D7
I'll be dammed I'm not the only one here

It ain't the weekend ain't even two-for-one night
G ***
Guess we're just drawn to that heavenly neon light
C
I might hate my job, what's your excuse

You've got a broken heart or you're just thirsty too
D7
Could be anything but whatever the case
G **
I think we're all plannin' on gettin' shit-faced
