Lyrics
We Don't Paint the Town
Written By: Kris Bradley (BMI 550220798)

Alarm clock starts a buzzin'
I fall out of bed
The morning reeks of passion
Whiskey and regret
I stumble to the kitchen
For black coffee and a cigarette
Last night's picture show
Is comin back in waves
My hangovers begin with him
But the pleasure's worth the pain
I'm makin' my own bed
And I know that it's a sin
But it's hard to make good choices
When you're three sheets to the wind
(Chorus)
Come hell or high water
Yeah you know we're gonna throw it down
Twenty dollars worth of Skynard in the jukebox
Bet those hipsters hate us now
One shot, two shot, three shot floor
Baby now I'm the dancing queen
We don't paint the town red
We make it bleed
Last thing I remember
Car Karaoke
To a lil' Springsteen
Dancing in the back seat
Of an Uber SUV
Not sure where we went last
Or how this scrape got on my knee
But I'm pretty sure that we were kindly
Asked if we could leave
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Baby I sure do treasure
The best times I can't remember
