Midnight Melody on the Road

Lyrics

Verse 1 Well, I just fucked up, I ran outta luck, At the counter of the liquor store. My card kept declinin’, Ain’t no use in whinin’, Must’ve spent every dollar the night before. I stood there scratchin’ my head, Then the memory said, “Boy, don’t you remember last night?” That old bartender grinned, Said, “Here he comes again…” Then he laughed and said, “Yeah… that’s about right.” He kept askin’, “Good sir, are you sure?” Every time I’d yell, “One more!” Guess I was playin’ the fool. Buyin’ drinks all around, Throwin’ money on down, Tryin’ to look just a little bit cool. Chorus Oh baby, you wouldn’t believe Little ol’ me was talkin’ such a big ol’ game. Now all my money’s been spent, And I know just where it went— To the greatest night of my whole life. So don’t come askin’ me later For no special favors, ‘Cause I got nothin’ left that I can give. But if you’ll buy me a round, I’ll gladly sit right down And tell ya ’bout the greatest night I ever lived. Verse 2 See that girl standin’ there? Go buy her a beer. If she turns you down, just wish her goodnight. There ain’t no sense in chasin’ Someone that ain’t interested— There’s another smile waitin’ just to your right. Now buddy, pull up a stool, Let me teach you the rules. First thing’s first, you don’t sip—you shoot. Couple shots warm your chest, Do the rest like the rest, And before long you’re thinkin’ you’re smooth. Now you gotta remember— Don’t ever forget— Confidence grows with every sip you get. Now whether that’s true, Well, that’s up to you… But it sure seemed to work for me then. Chorus Oh baby, you wouldn’t believe Little ol’ me was talkin’ such a big ol’ game. Now all my money’s been spent, And I know just where it went— To the greatest night of my whole life. So don’t come askin’ me later For no special favors, ‘Cause I got nothin’ left that I can give. But if you’ll buy me a round, I’ll gladly sit right down And tell ya ’bout the greatest night I ever lived. Bridge So spend all your money, Go find you a honey, Tell her you’re a lawyer or you’re rich in oil. Buy the whole bar a round, Really throw it around— Ain’t nobody ever bragged about bein’ too spoiled. Now I know it sounds crazy, Maybe downright lazy, Like advice from a man who’s slightly bent. But here’s the honest truth: Every story needs some proof… Final Chorus When all your money’s been spent, Remember just where it went— To the greatest night of your whole life. Yeah, the wallet gets thin, But the stories all win, And you’ll laugh every time they come around. So if your card declines, Just smile and say, “That’s fine…” ‘Cause I already got my money’s worth. It went to the greatest night… The greatest night… The greatest night of my whole life.
