So you're tired and you're beat and you worked all week 

And you need a place you can let it go

Were the girls go out and the boys play hard

And you need a little more than just the radio



Well here's your open invitation 

With just a couple regulations

Let me warn you son when we come to have fun  

We don't take kindly to serious 

So leave your troubles in the door unless you want some in here



CHORUS

Welcome to my house buckle up tight

Everyone sings and drinks and laughs and gets high

It's a country of music 

A little soul 

I'ts a rock n' roll rodeo

We don't tolerate no sittin' around 

Everybody's dancin' groovin' and gettin' on down

So before you come in here with some kind of attitude

Better read the house rules



Around 11 o' clock

When the front door locks

And the boys start raising the bottle

The girls do the thing with the Mardi Gras beat 

And you know they're gonna show 'em if they got 'em 



And no matter what your story

A good time is mandatory

Well rule number seven says 'don't touch the women'

But they can grab a little if they want to



CHORUS



No such thing as last call

Pick 'em up when they fall

Share the same bedroom stall 

Says the sign on the wall



CHORUS



Boy before you come walkin' in here with any kind of attitude

You better read the house rules

Oh, you better read the house rules
