Payday Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's go out on the town tonight, my pockets are heavy with loot
And get drunk and blasted and loud and aggressive to boot
I've been living from hand to mouth for what must be three or four weeks
And I can tell you one thing, Jack, you listen when your stomach speaks

[Chorus]
I feel good just like I knew that I would
And all on account of that wine that I bought today
And I'm smiling so sweet at every little girl that I meet
Some fools will try to tell you it's a sin to feel this way
It feels so funny having all of this money
I think I feel like dancing the night away, ow

[Guitar Solo]
I think i feel like dancing the night away

[Verse 2]
I got me this long legged girl to help me to spend my dough
Her heart as big as your mama's stove and her body like Brigitte Bardot
I'm all ready for some rock and roll with the guitar turned up loud
And the fancy footwork and the drunk down, drugged up crowd

[Chorus]
I feel good just like I knew that I would
And all on account of that wine that I bought today
And I'm smiling so sweet at every little girl that I meet
Some fools will try to tell you it's a sin to feel this way
Oh yeah It feels so funny having all of this money
I think I feel like dancing the night away

[Outro]
I think I feel like dancing the night away
I think I feel like dancing the night away
