Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Alright

Ooh

[Verse 2]

Got a buddy living out in Jacksonville

In love with a woman with looks to kill

He called me out of the blue just the other night

Yeah, he was gonna put a diamond on her hand

Then he caught her runnin' 'round with another man

So, I booked me a ticket for the early A.M. flight, that's right

[Verse 3]

You know friends don't let friends drink alone

Gotta have a little help to get that memory gone

If you're gonna make a bad decision, you shouldn't make it on your own

Yeah, friends don't let friends drink alone

(No, they don't)

[Verse 4]

Well, I've got another buddy in Birmingham

Got cut loose by the old boss man

Said he's out the door, headed for the neon lights

Oh, he's gonna need someone to pick up the tab

Talk it out, maybe split a cab

Tell him everything's gonna be alright

Yeah, that's right

[Verse 5]

You know friends don't let friends drink alone

Ain't gonna let 'em sit around and listen to the what's that song (What's that song?)

If you're gonna make a bad decision, you shouldn't make it on your own

No, friends don't let friends drink alone

(No, they don't)

[Verse 6]

Alright, listen

If you need a wingman (If you need a wingman)

I can hold a cold can (I can hold a cold can)

Yeah, I'll pick up the phone, man

Won't leave you hangin' out to dry

Buddy, I can split a twelve pack (You know that's right)

I won't leave you by yourself, Jack (No, sir)

You know I got your back

And I know you got mine

[Verse 7]

Yeah, you know friends don't let friends drink alone

Takes a couple good ol' boys to tie one on

Oh, if you're gonna make a bad decision, you shouldn't make it on your own

No, friends don't let friends drink alone

Friends don't let friends drink alone

[Verse 8]

No, they don't (Oh no, they don't)

You know they don't

Don't let friends drink alone (Drink alone)

Dial my number, buddy, I'll pick up

I'll come help you catch that buzz

'Cause friends don't let friends drink alone

Save that empty stool for me

I'll come runnin' in one, two, three

Friends don't let friends drink alone
