about

A reminder of a time when everyone would head to that one place in the county to get their dance on.

lyrics

A E
Jump off the tractor and I head to town,
A D
Its Friday night and time to party down
A E
My best gal said she’s waitin’ on me, and she’s
F#5 Bm D A
And she spoke of a surprise that I can’t wait see
A
Let’s dance now, let’s dance now
C’mon get on your feet

Head to the bar and I grab a cold one
And take a bath in that neon light, then we
Take a turn on that old country dance floor
It’s just what we do here on a Friday night

Let’s dance now, let’s dance now
C’mon get on your feet

Chorus
F#5 Bm E A
All week long I’ve waited for this
F#5 Bm E A
Smell of your perfume, the taste of your kiss
F#5 Bm E A
Come out with us it’ll be alright
F#5 Bm E A
It’s just what we do here on a Friday night

After the turn well it’s time for a rest
I’ll take a Two Hearted Ale because you know they’re the best
Then I remember something ‘bout a surprise
Better find my best gal before she tells me goodbye

Let’s dance now, let’s dance now
C’mon get on your feet

My best gal well she catches my eye
Takes my hand and leads me into the night
Far away from those, prying eyes
It’s just what we do here on a Friday night

Let’s dance now, let’s dance now
C’mon get on your feet

Bridge
Bm E A
It’s Friday night and we want to blow off some steam
Bm E A
That’s what we call it when we’re in the back seat
Bm E A
Some folks don’t like it when we carry on this way
Bm D E A
What do we say?

Let’s dance now…

Chorus x 2

Outro

It’s what we do here on a Friday night, what we do here on a Friday night
Let’s dance now, let’s dance now…
