we’re going to Dry Creek tonight
we’re gonna two step and drink beers
on the deck in the moonlight
tell Kendra
tell Kevin
tell Javad
tell everyone to get their asses over there
time is running out
time is running out
they got 3 dollar beers and a jukebox that plays 45s
meanest sweetest old bartenders you ever seen
Cactus Lee playing songs off of ‘Texas Music Forever’
and you know better than anyone
they don’t make nights like this anymore
