Well, it’s Friday and we’re gettin’ tore upHeaded down to the river in the back of Fred’s truckRemember that one time you said it was all rightGo get juiced down by the riverbed tonightSee, it’s late now and I gotta get you homeYour momma don’t like me and you being aloneI asked you a couple of times, you said it was all rightGo rootin’ round the riverbed tonightTell me that you love me if it’s trueI don’t want no one girl if I can’t have youThis Oklahoma Breakdown sure do got you cryingLet me tell you that I love you one more timeWell, it’s Friday, done got all tore upLeavin’ the river in the back of Fred’s truckI asked you a couple of times, you said it was all rightGet juiced down by the riverbed tonight
