Friday at 5 I'll lay down this old hammer
Trade in my hard hat for a red bandana
Knock off a long hard week
Slide my best boots on my feet
Work up that special number for tonight

It don't pay the bills but lord knows that I love it
And if I could I'd tell that boss to shove it
Work on my neon tan
Keep a cold one in my hand
Singing roll me up and smoke me when I die

Let's fire up the band plug them guitars in
Light the dance floor up and watch those cowgirls spin
Ice the long necks down dim the lights and let that good buzz hit me
And work on my Willie

We love all the greats like cash and haggard
Songs from a time when music really mattered
But round here Willies king and everybody sings
You were always on my mind at closing time

Let's fire up the band plug them guitars in
Light the dance floor up and watch those cowgirls spin
Ice the long necks down dim the lights and let that good buzz hit me
And work on my Willie

My whiskey river weekend playing music with my friends
When Monday morning rolls around I'll be on the road again

Let's fire up the band plug them guitars in
Light the dance floor up and watch those cowgirls spin
Ice the long necks down dim the lights and let that good buzz hit me
And work on my Willie
