Danny drives a tractor, left it in the pasture Bosses getting madder 'cause he won't pick up the phone Might not be an ivy league Einstein crowd But when it comes to Friday night, man, we got it figured out When the long weeks' paychecks are cashed Where we gonna spend it, buddy, you ain't gotta ask When the neon lights are kicking on All of us are heading to a home away from home We don't look like much but we're pretty damn smart For some good ole boys that can't pass the bar Bobby's gotta cousin that says he's good for nothin' Always making fun of him 'cause he doesn't own a suit Freddy's ex-lady, got a new Mercedes From the judge she's dating down in Baton Rouge He's the book smart, no dark bull shootin' kind That's why she shows back up every other Friday night When the long weeks' paychecks are cashed Where we gonna spend it, buddy, you ain't gotta ask When the neon lights are kicking on All of us are heading to a home away from home We don't look like much but we're pretty damn smart For some good ole boys that can't pass the bar When you're raised out here, you are who you are That two lane road will only get you so far We can pass around cigars, get tars and jars But we can't, we can't, can't pass the bar When the long weeks' paychecks are cashed Where we gonna spend it, buddy you ain't gotta ask When the neon lights are kicking on All of us are heading to a home away from home We don't look like much but we're pretty damn smart For some good ole boys that can't pass the bar Just some good ole boys that can't pass the bar We can't pass the bar
