Song Lyrics: Little Big Town | “Day Drinking”

Little Big Town | “Day Drinking”

 

Watch the live performance video of “Day Drinking” from the CMT Music Awards HERE!

Everybody’s always waitin’ on Friday
Watching that clock and sip on joe
Whatchya say we find a little warm sunshine
And open up an umbrella on the patio

I don’t need a reason to go to happy hour
And hang around for a fireworks show
Get a head start a little sip of somethin’
1, 2, 3 here we go

Don’t want to wait til the sun’s sinking
We could be feeling all right
I know you know what I’m thinking
why don’t we do a little day drinking

Why don’t we do a little day drinking

Blame it on the work day
Blame it on the heatwave
Blame it on the tick-tock moving too slow
Blame it on any old thing you want to
Baby get set baby here we go

Don’t want to wait til the sun’s sinking
We could be feeling all right
I know you know what I’m thinking
why don’t we do a little day drinking

Why don’t we do a little day drinking

Don’t want to wait til the sun’s sinking
We could be feeling all right
I know you know what I’m thinking
why don’t we do a little day drinking

Don’t want to wait til the sun’s sinking
We could be feeling all right
I know you know what I’m thinking
why don’t we do a little day drinking

Why don’t we do a little day drinking
Why don’t we do a little day drinking

Song Lyrics: Lady Antebellum | “Bartender”

Lady Antebellum | “Bartender”

8 o’clock on Friday night I’m still at home
All my girls just keep on blowing up my phone
Saying come on he ain’t worth the pain
Do what you gotta do to forget his name

Now there’s only one thing left for me to do
Slip on my favorite dress and sky high leather boots
Check the mirror one last time
And kiss the past goodbye

What I’m really needing now
Is a double shot of Crown
Chase that disco ball around
‘Til I don’t remember
Go until they cut me off
Wanna get a little lost
In the noise, in the lights

Hey bartender pour ‘em hot tonight
‘Til the party and the music and the truth collide
Bring it ‘til his memory fades away
Hey bartender

Tonight I’ll let a stranger pull me on the floor
Spin me ’round and let him buy a couple more
But before it goes too far
I’ll let him down easy
‘Cause tonight it’s all about
Dancing with my girls to the DJ
Put that song on replay

What I’m really needing now
Is a double shot of Crown
Chase that disco ball around
‘Til I don’t remember
Go until they cut me off
Wanna get a little lost
In the noise, in the lights

Hey bartender pour ‘em hot tonight
‘Til the party and the music and the truth collide
Bring it ‘til his memory fades away
Hey bartender

I’m feeling that buzz
I’m ready to rock
Ain’t no way I’m gonna tell you to stop
So pour that thing up to the top
I’m coming in hot

Hey bartender
What I’m really needing now
Is a double shot of Crown
Chase that disco ball around
‘Til I don’t remember
Go until they cut me off
Wanna get a little lost
In the noise, in the lights

Hey bartender pour ‘em hot tonight
‘Til the party and the music and the truth collide
Bring it ‘til his memory fades away
Hey bartender
Hey bartender

Song Lyrics: Lucy Hale | “You Sound Good To Me”

Lucy Hale | “You Sound Good To Me”

The full moon
Is shining like a spotlight
I could just sit and listen to you talkin’ all night
When you whisper
Yeah, baby, when you lean in
I get a crazy, crazy good kind of feelin’

It’s like Amen from the back of the choir
Sweet home of freedom underneath the tires
Kicked back sittin’ by a cracklin’ fire
Strumming them guitar strings
And like an old song on the radio
That you grew up to and everybody knows
Rushin’ of the water when the river rolls
Winding wild and free

Baby, you sound good to me
Baby, you sound so good to me
Mm-m-mm like a melody
Baby, you sound good to me

Tell me
All of your stories
And don’t you leave nothin’ out ’cause baby, I ain’t in a hurry
Every little thing you say
Got a real nice ring to it
The way it rolls off your lips
And oh, when you give me that kiss

It’s like Amen from the back of the choir
Sweet home of freedom underneath the tires
Kicked back sittin’ by a cracklin’ fire
Strumming them guitar strings
Like an old song on the radio
That you grew up to and everybody knows
Rushin’ of the water when the river rolls
Winding wild and free

Baby, you sound good to me
Baby, you sound so good to me
Mm-m-mm like a melody
Baby, you sound good to me

Baby, you sound good to me
Baby, you sound so good to me
Mm-m-mm like a melody
Baby, mm-mm

Like an Amen from the back of the choir
Sweet home of freedom underneath the tires
Kicked back sittin’ by a cracklin’ fire
Strumming them guitar strings
Like an old song on the radio
That you grew up to and everybody knows
Rushin’ of the water when the river rolls
Winding wild and free

Baby, you sound good to me
Baby, you sound so good to me
Mm-m-mm like a melody
Baby, you sound good (sound so good)

Baby, you sound good to me (sound so good)
Baby, you sound so good to me (sound so good)
Mm-m-mm like a melody
Baby, you sound good to me.
