   B
Traffic's all backed up
E
My brakes are all jacked up
         F#                         A      B
Well, I wish I had a cold Bud Light in my hand
B                                            E
It's been a month worth of hard work packed down
into one week
F#                                A       B
This country boy's had about all he can stand

        G#m                  F#                E
Pass a billboard says that Jesus is watchin' you
              G#m               F#
Well I hope somebody turns his head
          E                     F#
'Cause I know what I'm about to do

Chorus:
           B                A
I'm gonna turn this truck around tonight
    E                    A       D
Go find me a place with beer on ice
 B                 F#                 E
Get loose and get down with a rowdy crowd
           B                 A
I'm gonna find me a little sweet young thing
      E
That talks with a little bit of Texas twang
 F#                                       E
Find me an old dance floor and spin her around
      A       D         E           A        B
Well, I sure hope that Jesus ain't watchin' now

I've had it up to here
My paycheck's done cleared
Now I've got everything I need to go and have
a good time
And when my day is done
You know I'm gonna go find me a little bit of fun
Get hemmed up somewhere with tequila, salt, and
lime
And I've read the good book at least a time or two
I've heard all the words about everything
I'm not supposed to do

Chorus:
But I'm gonna turn this truck around tonight
Go find me a place with beer on ice
Get loose and get down with a rowdy crowd
I'm gonna find me a little sweet young thing
That talks with a little bit of Texas twang
Find me an ol' dance floor and spin her around
I sure hope that Jesus ain't watchin' now

Well I'm gonna turn this truck around tonight
Go find me a place with cold beer on ice
Get loose and get down with a rowdy crowd
I'm gonna find me a little sweet young thing
That talks with a little bit of Texas twang
Find me an ol' dance floor and spin her around
Yeah tonight I ain't gonna quit 'til I hit the
ground
I sure hope that Jesus ain't watchin' now
Oh, he ain't watchin' now
