[Verse 1]
G       D             Em7          Cadd9
Got six bucks, that's enough for a beer run
G           D           Em7           Cadd9
 Now all we need is someone to do the buyin'
G         D                 Em7          Cadd9
 My Buddy Lendell, he ain't never got no money
       G         D             Em7    Cadd9
But he drinks up most the beer  every time

[Interlude]
G  D  Em7  C x2

[Verse 2]
G          D            Em7         Cadd9
 By nine o'clock, got a half a case between us
G              D                   Em7              Cadd9
 Pull into the Quick Pick, Lendell had to have some smokes
G           D        Em7           Cadd9
 There sits Susie in Billy Scott's Camaro
        G           D                  Em7                Cadd9
Lendell gives her a wink, Billy says, "You want your neck broke"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
        D
They're about to go toe to toe
Cadd9
 Here comes a cop car
        D
Lendell says, "The cemetery, Bill
      Cadd9           D
We'll see how bad you are"

[Chorus]
        G      Cadd9  Em7  D
Another Friday night
        G         Cadd9  G/B  D/A
In this oil patch town
         G           Cadd9  Em7  D
Keep the beers outta sight
               G             Cadd9  G/B  D/A
When the state troopers come around
              Cadd9
Now, we ain't looking for trouble
             D
But wouldn't mind a fight
     Em7
What else you gonna do
           Cadd9  D      G     D  Em7  Cadd9
It's just another Friday night

[Interlude]
G  D  Em7 Cadd9
[Verse 3]
G                  D               Em7          Cadd9
Billy says, "Let's get it on," and Lendell just slugs him
G             D                Em7      Cadd9
 That's about all the fighting that got done
G              D             Em7               Cadd9
 Sheriff pulls up, he says, "What you hoodlums doing?"
     G             D                  Em7                 Cadd9
"Aw, nothing much, Junior, we're just trying to have some fun"

[Pre-Chorus 2]
     D
He's acting tough and taking names
    Cadd9
And shutting us down
       D
But at least we got something to talk about
     Cadd9         D
When Monday rolls around

[Chorus]
        G      Cadd9  Em7  D
Another Friday night
        G         Cadd9  G/B  D/A
In this oil patch town
         G           Cadd9  Em7  D
Keep the beers outta sight
               G             Cadd9  G/B  D/A
When the state troopers come around
              Cadd9
Now, we ain't looking for trouble
             D
But wouldn't mind a fight
     Em7
What else you gonna do
           Cadd9  D      G     D  Em7  Cadd9
It's just another Friday night
