Song Description

NICKLEBACK MEETS COUNTRY

Lyrics

Can I get an amen, can I get a high five,
Can I get a hell yeah -- it's time to shine.
She packed her bags, left a note on the stove,
Now it's me and Jack, and a long night to go.
Yeah, love's a game, and I just lost,
But I'm buyin' rounds, no matter the cost.

[Chorus]
Y'all know how it is, y'all know how it goes,
When the one you love just up and hits the road.
You need a bottomless glass and a big ol' toast,
To kiss-my-ass and lettin' it go.
Heartbreak hurts, but the whiskey's cold --
So crank that song and let the good times roll.
Y'all know how it is, y'all know how it goes.

[Verse 2]
Bartender's smirkin', pourin' real slow,
Said "Son, I've been there, 'bout ten years ago."
The jukebox plays that ol' George Jones,
Man, it's like he knew I'd be drinkin' alone.
But I ain't cryin', I'm just gettin' loud,
With a crowd of strangers who all been knocked down.

[Chorus]
Y'all know how it is, y'all know how it goes,
When your heart's in pieces and your buzz just grows.
You need a bottomless glass and a barstool throne,
To cuss her name and turn off your phone.
Pain don't wait, so the liquor flows --
Yeah, this ain't new, it's just how life goes.

[Bridge]
So raise 'em up, here's to the fools,
Who fall too fast and break all the rules.
She's gone, but I ain't through --
Tonight, this bar's got work to do!

[Final Chorus]
Y'all know how it is, y'all know how it goes,
When she's outta your life and you're outta control.
You need a bottomless glass and some solid bros,
To ride that storm 'til the neon glows.
From broken hearts to rowdy shows --
We all been there...
Y'all know how it goes
