Story Behind The Song

Lyrics

1. I Pull out of the food mart, my old truck she knows her way...
I work through my eight hour shift, and take home my eight hours pay...
I like my boss and I like my job, you don't see that much today...
but when friday afternoon arrives, your gonna hear me say...

C-1 If I ain't workin', I'm drinkin', thats what your gonna hear...
when I come through that bar room door and I punch in for a beer...
my friends and I drink long necks, and we listen to some country songs...
If I ain't workin'. I'm drinkin', when the weekend comes along.

B Saturdays I whittle down on my honey-do list...
but you know where I'll be at closin' time with a twelve ounce in my fist...

2. Monday mornin' I get up, my coffee cup in hand...
I hit the bricks and suck it up, and do it all over again...
that country girl who rocks my world, well ya know she understands...
when friday afternoon arrives, we revert to the master plan...

C-2 If I ain workin', I'm drinkin', well thats what your gonna hear...
when I come through that bar room door and I punch in for a beer...
my friends and I drink longnecks, and we sing some country songs...
If I ain't workin'. I'm drinkin', as the weekend rolls along.

C-3 If I ain't workin', I'm drinkin', well thats what your gonna hear...
when I stop in at the honky tonk, and I punch in for a beer...
my friends and I drink longnecks, and we sing some country songs...
If I ain't workin', I'm a drinkin' when the weekend rolls along.

C-4 My friends and I drink longnecks, and a couple shots of Crown...
If I ain't workin', I'm a drinkin' when the weekend rolls around.
