Story Behind The Song
Dave went drinking with his friend and as soon as they got there he ordered a beer and this lady came over to see if he wanted to dance, Dave did not want to dance with her, she was an older woman the age of his mother and he could see that she was pretty drunk and had been there a while. His friend egged him on to dance with her and he thought ok why not one dance. As they started to the dance floor she had other things in mind and started to lead him out the door for who knows what. Dave said no thank you and left her standing. He remembered that old saying "If you are around at closing time, then we will see if I want to leave with you or not" This meaning that if I had enough to drink and didn't care about who I left with then we will see. (Just kidding, he won't leave with her if his life depended on it.)
Song Description
You know that old saying at the bar at the end of the evening (If you're around at closing time, then we will see!) this is a lot of that same thing, if I have enough to drink tonight and there isn't anyone else that looks good enough, then we will see. (I don't think so, I wouldn't go home with someone twice my age and someone not good looking at the same time.)

Lyrics
D G D
1. Have You Ever Been Asked To Dance, By The Ugliest Girl In The Place.
D E A - A7
I Once Was and I Said No and She Slapped Me Across My Face.
I'd Seen Her Over At the Bar; She Had a Drink In Each of Her Hands.
I Knew She'd Been There a Couple of Hours,
Cause She Could Hardly Even Stand.
2. Have You Ever Been Asked To Dance,
By the Ugliest Girl In The Place,
If You Have Son,
You Better Make Sure You Wipe That Smirk Off Your Face.
She Can Tell What Your Saying By The Look In Your Eyes.
Just Keep It Cool You'll Pull It Off, Tell Her Another Lie.
D G A D
They Say that Women Get Prettier At Closing Time, Well, That's True.
D G A D
But I Sure Hell Won't Find No Joy In Dancing Out There With You.
So Walk Back Over to the Bar Girl and Stay Away from Me.
If Your Still Around At Closing Time, Maybe Then We'll See.
