Lyrics
Best Damn Quarter (I Ever Spent) Copyright 2015
Matthiesen/Gulick 04/16/2015
(Verse 1) 6 A.M. came way too early
Up all night with you on my mind
Took a drive cause I was lonely
To the first joint I could find
Saw a jukebox in the corner
Meant to play a heartache song
So I dropped in the quarter
Must have punched that number wrong
(Chorus) A party broke out at the Waffle House
Rock and roll blowin' the speakers out
The cook went out to his minivan
Found a bottle of Old Number 7 Brand
The waitress used a mixing spoon
For a microphone and raised the roof
Got over you faster than I ever dreamt
That was the Best Damn Quarter that I.......Ever Spent
(Verse 2) Greyhound bus pulled in from Macon
Thirty-some tourists danced right in
Before long the booths were shaking
And the bar stools started to spin
Manager went to pull the breaker
Tried to shut our good time down
Shoved him in the 'fridgerator
No stopping the party now
(Chorus)
(Verse 3) Outside blue lights were flashin'
Must've been a noise complaint
But instead of taking action
The boys were here to play
County Sheriff came in dancing
Kicked off his boots, hoped on the bar
The officers started jamming
Like Hendrix on air guitar
(Chorus)
(outro)
Got over you faster than I ever dreamt
That was the Best Damn Quarter that I.......Ever Spent
