Lyrics
Verse 1
It's been a long day
Of caring for young 'uns
And mama needs some time alone
Papa's working till a quarter to 7
And I'm praying he high-tails it home
Woh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah
A case of beers and his favorite show
He ain't waking till first light, no doubt
And mama's getting gone straight to the bar
Where me and my girls are the stars
Pre-chorus
Pour some drinks and let's do a toast to the night
'Cause it's only right
Dance the night away wish I could stay
Chorus
When the boys ain't around
We're shooting whiskey and ready to play
Oh yeah
High on the hog
Drinking gin wouldn't have it any other way
When the boys ain't around
We're square dancing and having some fun
Oh yeah
Walking on a slant
And laughing till we see the sun
Verse 2
Go to the house
And I creep into bed
And he never questions
Where I've been
See on the weekends
He's got beer and his friends
In the week it's my girls and my gin
[repeat chorus]
