Lyrics

Gonna have a good time
Gonna have a good time
Gonna have a good time
Gonna have a real good time
When I need a night to live my life
Been working hard paying my dues
There’s a good-time-feeling-get-down groovy spot
I can’t refuse
And I tell you I’m tired of walking this lonely road
Taking off a load
Put on my dancing shoes
It’s the kinda place you walk into
And everybody knows your name
It’s the kinda place you walk out of and never feel the same
And even if you’re on the fence
And going out seems too intense
Don’t be ashamed, you’re gonna be glad you came
‘Cause everybody’s at the bar
That you were hoping you would see
And if you know the secret password
You get all your drinks for free
And they play good old-fashioned rock and roll
Funky soul, and down-home country blues
Yes they do
Gonna have a good time
Gonna have a good time
Gonna have a good time
Gonna have a real good time
When I need some time to ease my mind
Been sick of the status quo
‘Cause once in a while it’s all too much and I feel low
But I know I can always go right there
Let it flow let down my hair
And take it slow
You can come in fancy clothes and you can come in overalls
And every time somebody spills a drink
There’s a round of applause
And they play good old-fashioned rock and roll
Funky soul, and down-home country blues
Yes they do
We're gonna have a good time
Gonna have a good time
Gonna have a good time
Gonna have a real good time
You could bring your boyfriend
You could bring your girlfriend
You could get your flirt on
You could make a cool new friend
You could play pinball
You could play blackjack
You could take a double shot
You could smoke a joint out back
Or you could hang sober
Baby if that’s your thing
Doesn’t even matter
Come on everybody sing
Well maybe it’s heaven
Step out of reality
They even got a photo booth
And you get the prints for free
It doesn’t have an address
You just gotta know the way
Everyone’s a local
Open all night and all day
Everybody’s dancing
We’re gonna have a good time
Gettin’ in the groove and
We’re gonna have a real good time
It’s gonna cradle me and comfort me
And get me through the night
Gonna take me to my higher power, bring me to the light
When they play that rock and roll
And that funky soul, and down-home country blues
They play good old-fashioned rock and roll
And funky soul, and down-home country blues
Yes they do
