Playin' Hooky Boogie

Verse         I see the mail man turn the corner

He must be bringing me a pound of bills to pay

I throw them all away

Verse         My work boots lying in the corner

I should be getin'em on and be on my way

Yeah, but not today

Pre-chorus    I'm gonna take a ride, cross the county line

To my Honkey Tonk Hide-A-Way

Chorus 1      I'm gonna do the Playin' Hooky Boogie

              I'll be fiddlin' while Rome is burnin' in the country way

              Gonna do the Playin' Hooky Boogie

              I'll have a Hell of a time 'coz tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay

Verse         Stopped at the station on the corner

I'll be payin' cash for my gas today

They took my cards away

Verse         I see my sweetheart on the corner

Waitin' for the bus to work today

I say no way

Pre-Chorus    We're gonna take a ride, cross the county line

To my Honkey Tonk Hide-A-Way

Chorus        We're gonna do the Playin' Hooky Boogie

              We'll be fiddlin' while Rome is burnin' in the country way

              We're gonna do the Playin' Hooky Boogie

              We'll have a Hell of a time 'coz tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay

                (Repeat Chorus)

              We'll have a Hell of a time 'coz tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay
