[Verse 1]
Another long, hard, workin` day gone
Time to pack it up and head on home
Sun`s gonna rise, and I know I gotta do it all over again
There`s only two ways through this town, and I don`t ever take the other way around
I see the lights, and I slow down
It`s like they pull me in

[Chorus]
I was gonna drive by, wasn`t gonna stop
Then my old truck found a front row spot
Gonna drop in, but I wasn`t gonna stay
Then I heard a barstool callin` my name
Wasn`t gonna let the bar twist my arm
But I`m helpless in a honky tonk
Said I wasn`t gonna drink
And then a country song came on

[Verse 2]
I was almost one boot out of the door when the band kicked in Two, three, four
Blame it on ETC for keepin` that neon burnin` on me

[Chorus]
I was gonna drive by, wasn`t gonna stop
Then my old truck found a front row spot
Gonna drop in, but I wasn`t gonna stay
Then I heard a barstool callin` my name
Wasn`t gonna lеt the bar twist my arm
But I`m helpless in a honky tonk
Said I wasn`t gonna drink
And thеn a country song came on, yeah

[Bridge]
I was gonna get a good night`s sleep
And then a country song came on
Save it for the end of the week
And then a country song came on

[Chorus]
I was gonna drive by, wasn`t gonna stop
Then my old truck found a front row spot
Gonna drop in, but I wasn`t gonna stay
Then I heard an old flame callin` my name
Wasn`t gonna let the bar twist my arm
But I`m helpless in a honky tonk
Said I wasn`t gonna drink
And then a country song came on
I wasn`t gonna drink
Then a country song came on

[Outro]
No, I wasn`t gonna drink
Yeah, a country song came on
