Lyrics
Friday Night
You're the prettiest girl in the bar tonight
I really didn't come here to start a fight
But if I take you home do you think your boyfriend'd get mad
I've had a few more tan I should've had
And the way I see it it wouldn't be that bad
If you came along with me, I don't wanna be lonely tonight
It's a Friday night we're gonna set this town on fire
And when it all burns down we're gonna stroll right through like kings
It's a Friday night we're gonna set this town on fire baby
Light it up baby 'cause tonight it's just you and me
Aren't you the the girl that grew up 'round the bend
Used to drink bourbon whiskey with my sister Jen
I've been watching you now for 'bout 16 years
I've got a fast car let's get outta here
I know a little bar with the coldest beer
We'll get the night started before we're through shifting gears
It's a Friday night we're gonna set this town on fire
And when it all burns down we're gonna stroll right through like kings
It's a Friday night we're gonna set this town on fire honey
Light it up baby 'cause tonight it's just you and me
Come on girl let's go
There'll be time to take it slow
When the sun comes up and we're all alone
When that sun comes up and we're all alone
That ol' sun'll come we'll be all alone
Let's go girl come on
It's a Friday night we're gonna set this town on fire
And when it all burns down we're gonna stroll right through like kings
It's a Friday night we're gonna set this town on fire mama
Light it up baby 'cause tonight it's just you and me
It's a Friday night we're gonna set this town on fire
And when it all burns down we're gonna stroll right through like kings
It's a Friday night we're gonna set this town on fire
Light it up baby 'cause tonight it's just you and me
Light it up sugar tonight it's you and me
