LEAVE THIS PARTY

We’re spending our Saturday night
Pretending we’re having fun
At the company shindig
Where all the people around us are so drunk

Some are dancing on the tables
A few are starting to strip
Their faces will be red on Monday
I’ll bet they’ll want to quit

(Chorus)
We need to get out, go across town to a country bar
As fast as we can, get our coats and jump in your car
We both know, that’s what we want to do….. (gonna do)
Let’s head on out the back door…..(before I lose my job)
Want to leave this party with you (x2)

They’re not playing our kind of music
Same words over, same backbeat
At least with a country song
You know exactly what it means

Your boss is grabbing all the women
If he comes any closer to you
It’ll probably end my career
Cause I’ll have to show him what this good old boy can do

(Chorus)

Let’s go to a boot stomping, fiddle playing kind of place
You don’t have to put on airs to get a raise
We can be ourselves

I want to do some flat foot glides, heel and toe touches
instead of bouncing ’round, calling women bitches
That’s not who we are

Let’s head on out the back door
Want to leave this party with you (x3)
