Can't Pass The Bar

Jessie's a mechanic, his mother-in-law's a manic

His new wife is in a panic, saying, "When you coming home?"

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
