Partying Degree

[Verse 1]
My senior year of high school
I pulled a 3.9
It was the only way my GPA could reach the finish line
When I opened up the mailbox
I jumped up and down
Left the county line in late summertime
Twenty 'bama bound

[Chorus]
And I rolled with the tide
Had money to blow
And I danced every night
To that cover band copperhead road
It was purple haze and derby days
Nights that it was free
I never graduated
But I got my partying degree
Partying degree

[Verse 2]
I snuck in Evan Williams
And [?]
Made long neck, cold beer buckets outta bathroom sinks
I passed all my classes
The 101s and 202s
But I aced everything
Mama and daddy never knew

[Chorus]
And I rolled with the tide
Had money to blow
And I danced every night
To that cover band copperhead road
It was purple haze and derby days
Nights that it was free
I never graduated
But I got my partying degree
Partying degree

[Verse 3]
Chased around a Katie
‘Till she broke my heart in two
Hurt me so damn bad
That I barely left my room
But with a six string and a melody
I wrote my first song
Finally found the meaning to that road I was on

[Chorus]
And I rolled with the tide
Had money to blow
And I danced every night
To that cover band copperhead road
It was purple haze and derby days
Nights that it was free
I never graduated
But I got my partying degree
And them SCC memories gave me songs to sing
So I thank God I got me one of them partying degrees
Partying degrees
Talking PHD up on the mantle
