FRIDAY NIGHT BLUES
Words and music by Linville Keith Jackson.
As recorded by Lynn Jackson on “Where Daddy Lived” (2004)

Sittin’ at a table down to Betty Lou's
I had a few drinks and I was feelin’ loose
The jukebox playin’ my favorite song
I can’t sit still; I got my dancin’ boots on
Gotta get out on the floor to shake the Friday night blues

All of a sudden from the corner of my eye
Caught a glimpse of an angel as she walked by
A drink in her hand, lookin’ so sweet
I thought to myself: this one’s for me
I gotta get her out on the floor to shake the Friday night blues

The Friday night blues and deep in my soul(?)
I ask her her to dance and now we’re lettin’ go
The way she holds onto me blows my mind
As we two-step around the floor one more time
I might fall in love tonight
If I play my cards just right
Friday night blues will be just a memory

There’s one thing I forgot all about
The ring on her finger, I found out,
Belongs to that big ol’ boy behind the bar
What was I thinkin’? Have I gone too far?
I better get out o’ here before I run out o’ luck

Friday night blues and deep in my soul(?)
I ask her her to dance and now we’re lettin’ go
The way she holds onto me blows my mind
As we two-step around the floor one more time
Don’t guess I'll fall in love tonight
Even if I play my cards just right
I can’t find no way to shake the Friday night blues
Said I can’t find no way to shake the Friday night blues
Said I can’t find no way to shake the Friday night blues
