Tailgate Trouble

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sun came down on the county fair Six-pack cold in the back of the air My buddies rolled up in a busted Ford Said, “Get in, man, we got one more score” We burned out past the feed store sign Dust on the dash and a little too fine Laughed so hard we nearly lost track Some nights you don’t get home, you just look back [Pre-Chorus] And the tires kept spinning The moon kept grinning One bad idea Turned into a living [Chorus] My buddies got me good My buddies got me good They bent me out the back Like only buddies would My buddies got me good My buddies got me good Now I’m limpin’ through Sunday But I still knock on wood [Verse 2] Billy said “Hold on, this’ll be quick” Joke got mean and the joke got slick Cousin Joe had a grin like sin And the whole damn crew piled right in They weren’t talkin’ church, they weren’t talkin’ shy They were laughin’ so hard they were cryin’ their eyes I hit that bench and I learned real fast Some friendships come with a permanent laugh [Pre-Chorus] And the porch light flickered The whole town snickered I should’ve run But I just got tricked up [Chorus] My buddies got me good My buddies got me good They bent me out the back Like only buddies would My buddies got me good My buddies got me good Now I’m limpin’ through Sunday But I still knock on wood [Bridge] Lord, I swear I heard banjos cry When the whole crew hollered, “Boys, say goodbye” Ain’t nothin’ left but a bruised-up pride And a tailgate tale that won’t subside [Final Chorus] My buddies got me good My buddies got me good They bent me out the back Like only buddies would My buddies got me good My buddies got me good If you ask what happened I’ll just say “Brotherhood”
