Every Song’s A Drinkin’ Song (Commentary) - Midland

Hey y'all Hey y'all Hey, hey y'all Bar hoppers, churchgoers Marlboro light smokers Blue collar red voters Population 1009 Past years cheerleaders Old men fill the bleachers Skeptics and true believers All gathered on a Friday night Singing to the stars and stripes We're a drinking town with a football problem With two main things we all have in common We love 'em both and don't want to solve 'em We're a drinking town with a football problem Hey y'all Singing hey y'all Hey, hey y'all Barn burners, nail biters Shift workers, firefighters Prom queens, outsiders All living for the love of the game We still tell the same old story Relive former glory Went to state in '94 We got a trophy in the school hallway The kids pass it by each day We're a drinking town with a football problem With two main things we all have in common We love 'em both and don't want to solve 'em We're a drinking town with a football problem Hey, hey When we win we celebrate And when we lose we commiserate Win or lose, we tie one on We're a drinking town with a football problem, oh With two main things we all have in common We love 'em both and don't want to solve 'em Yeah, we're a drinking town with a football problem Hey, say Hey y'all (hey), hey y'all Hey, hey y'all

Well, you thought I'd be waitin' up When you came home last night You'd been out with all the boys And you ended up half tight But liquor and love that just don't mix Leave a bottle or me behind And don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind No, don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind Just stay out there on the town And see what you can find 'Cause if you want that kind of love Well, you don't need none of mine So don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind You never take me anywhere Because you're always gone And many a night I've laid awake And cried dear, all alone. Then you come in a kissin' on me It happens every time No, don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind No, don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind Just stay out there on the town And see what you can find 'Cause if you want that kind of love Well, you don't need none of mine So don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind No, don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind
