When the lonely set in, I fought back the tears

I don't love you anymore is so hard to hear

It felt like a mile from our door to my truck

Somehow I found the strength to fire it up



How lucky am I you said goodbye

At seven o'clock on a Friday night



I won't be lonely long

By the time that first beer is gone

I'll be floatin' on a neon cloud with my friends around

We'll be raising up our glasses and singing out loud



To those done me wrong, drinkin' songs

Hey ladies, tonight it's on

No, I won't be lonely long



Well, I usually ain't much on dancin', but tonight I'm cuttin' up a rug

I get to say no ma'am when the ladies ask if I'm with anyone

When I'm tippin' the band and buyin' everybody shots

Spendin' every dollar I got



I won't be lonely long

By the time that first beer is gone

I'll be floatin' on a neon cloud with my friends around

We'll be raising up our glasses and singing out loud



To those done me wrong, drinkin' songs

Hey ladies, tonight it's on

No, I won't be lonely long



There ain't an empty space in this parkin' lot

Look at all the friends I got



I won't be lonely long

By the time that first beer is gone

I'll be floatin' on a neon cloud with my friends around

We'll be raising up our glasses and singing out loud



To those done me wrong, drinkin' songs

Hey ladies, tonight it's on

No, I won't be lonely long
