Tonight I'm Playin' Possum (with Joe Nichols)

I'm gonna need a strong one

It's gonna be a long one

In case ya haven't heard

He stopped lovin' her today

So I'm dustin' off the vinyl

It's gonna be an all nighter

Warnin' ya now, from here on out boys, I'll be the DJ

So find a drink or find the road

I'm 'bout to drop a needle on some ole no show

You're gonna want an ashtray and a bottle

I'm goin' deep, and goin long

Till I run that needle through every last song

He ever sung

So pour 'em strong, smoke 'em if you got 'em

Tonight, I'm playin' possum

I bet he

Stepped right up singin'

Right now he's bringin' every angel

In that house up there to tears

So close the doors and lock 'em up

And if you see me chokin' up

Just dim the lights, 'cause boys tonight, what happens here stays here

So, find a drink or find the road

I'm 'bout to drop a needle on some ole no show

You're gonna want an ashtray and a bottle

I'm goin' deep and goin' long

Till I run that needle through every last song

He ever sung, so pour 'em strong, and smoke 'em if you got 'em

Boys, tonight, I'm playin' possum

"Bartender's Blues", and "Why, Baby Why"

"Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes", "Still Doin' Time"

I'm goin' deep, I'm goin' long

Till I run that needle through every last song

He ever sung, so pour 'em strong, and smoke 'em if you got 'em

Tonight, I'm playin' possum

Tonight, I'm playin' possum

I'm gonna need a strong one

It's gonna be a long one

In case ya haven't heard

He stopped lovin' her

Today
