words and music

VERSE
I got paid when I hit this town,
I'm going to throw a little money around,
A little lost but I'm going to be found,
See I got a good feeling tonight.

Looking for trouble and I probably will,
Fall into something that will give me a thrill,
Pass me a bottle put it on my bill,
Nothing can alarm me tonight,

TRANS
And then the room starts quaking,
Everybody's shaking,
The band's been playing maybe just a little louder lately,
Find a little lady then we're really going to party tonight.

CHORUS
Then we'll take this town and rock it,
Right until daylight
We're going to take this joint, turn it upside down,
Can't say, no one will be looking to fight,
Dancing on the tables,
We could be such a sight,
And after we dance,
A little romance
Hey truck stop baby,
Want to be with me tonight?

VERSE
You might say I'm a little insane,
Some people think that I'm a little too vain,
Say what you will but just remember my name
I'm a little much to handle tonight

New truck, new hat, new shoes,
I even got me a new attitude,
I need some action just to keep me amused,
When's the party starting tonight?

TRANS repeat

CHORUS repeat

BRIDGE
Well Billie Joe is a girl I know,
Who certainly grew up well,
She told me a lie from the look in her eyes,
It wasn't that hard to tell,
Still I took me a chance when I asked her to dance,
My heart beginning to swell,
Couple of moves and I knew what to do,
I'll ask some others as well.

VERSE
It doesn't matter what you think I've got,
I'm never right but I know when I'm not,
Forgot the reasons but I know when I'm hot.
And I know that I'm a prize tonight.

It seems to me that I'm a catching a stare,
I guess it means that I'm a getting somewhere,
The devil in me seems to not even care,
No nothings going to stop me tonight

TRANS repeat

CHORUS repeat
