Chorus
Give me a barroom and 86 proof
Top shelf liquor that goes down smooth
And honkytonk pickers that can raise the roof
Give me a barroom and 86 proof
Verse
When the preacher told me ‘go on kiss your bride’
You know I did and kissed happiness goodbye
Now we feud over your jealousy
Your evil eye is bad company
Verse
You believe I’ve been untrue
Now you’re my one and only wouldn’t do that to you
All this suspicion is wearin’ me down
I’m overdue for a night on the town
Chorus
Solo
Bridge
I might stay for a shot and a brew
Or get a heat on and drink till two
But no matter what I do
I’ll have a better time than hangin’ out with you
Verse
Goin’ back and forth over the same old ground
Tryin’ to work it out, goin round and round
Sometimes I wonder. What’s the use?
Another night, another fight, another good excuse
Chorus
To head to a barroom and 86 proof
Top shelf liquor that goes down smooth
And honkytonk pickers that can raise the roof
Give me a barroom and 86 proof
Gonna cut it loose, gonna raise the roof
Give me a barroom and 86 proof
