Well it?s a Friday night, there?s a show at the bar
F
So we decided to jump in our cars
G C
And go down and hear the funky Texas sound
C
We?d been drinkin since a quarter to five
F
And wasn?t none of us in condition to drive
G G
So it was rock-paper-scissors to see who?d get us cross town
After bobbin and weavin through three miles of street
We made it to the bar all in one piece
And stumbled our way directly to the front of the line
We listened to the show between beers and women
My mouth got dry and my head started spinnin
But by God, I was havin one helluva time
C
And I guess you could say I was feelin no pain
F
And the boys apparently was feelin the same
G C
Cause they jumped on the stage and yelled "Party at the A-Frame!"
F G C
Thank God Larry Joe ain?t here
F G C
To see us trashin the place and drinkin up all of his beer
F G
If he was here he might not have been amused
C C/B Am
To hear all the four letter words bein used
F G C
Describin the things that he holds so dear
F G C
Yeah thank God Larry Joe ain?t here
You see, Larry Joe he owns the place
And I?d hate to see the look on his face
If he found us havin a party for half the town
We?ll have to stay up late or get up real early
To pick up the beer cans and make sure he
Don?t find them three drunk chicks passed out on the ground
But now the truck lights are on, the music?s blarin
The fire?s a blazin and we?re not carin?
About nothin in this old world but just havin fun
Somebody cranks "I Feel a Party Comin On"
And I say "Zack, who wrote that song?"
And some drunk cowpoke in the back yells Gary P. Nunn
Chorus
Solo
Somebody just fell down in the farm pond
And Joe Bob heard somebody talkin bout his mom
It was getting pretty clear, time for everybody to go
Cause the sun?s comin up over the hill
And it won?t be too long before we?ll
See Larry Joe?s big white Dodge comin in from the show
There he is in the mornin light
Askin us what we did last night
We just stammered and stuttered,"J-J-J-Just drank a couple of beers."
We just sat around and told a few jokes
Hey! We listed to Guy Clark on the radio
Aww, Larry Joe, wish you?da been here
Chorus
Yeah thank God Larry Joe wasn?t here
