[Verse 1]
Everybody waitin' for the weekend
Gettin' off five in the P.M
Wanna blow off a little steam and
Go cut loose somewhere
Folks start showin' up at seven
Order up a Crown or a cold one
Nobody buyin' rounds for no one
No girls dancin' on the bar in there

[Chorus]
But in the A.M. they go from gettin' busted to wasted
Might not remember what they're sayin'
Radio turned up playin' loud a honky-tonk station
Spendin' what you spent the week makin'
Ask a little hottie what her name is
The whole world's asleep, but we're wide awake in the A.M

[Verse 2]
Leave around ten and you're alright
Everybody's cool, never uptight
But if you stay longer than midnight
You might end up in the middle of a fist fight

[Chorus]
But in the A.M. they go from gettin' busted to wasted
Might not remember what they're sayin'
Radio turned up playin' loud a honky-tonk station
Spendin' what you spent the week makin'
Ask a little hottie what her name is
The whole world's asleep, but we're wide awake in the A.M
[Chorus]
In the A.M. they go from gettin' busted to wasted
Might not remember what they're sayin'
Radio turned up playin' loud a honky-tonk station
Spendin' what you spent the week makin'
Ask a little hottie what her name is
Hey, baby, tell me what you think about
Getting out of this place and
Let me show you my Chevrolet and
We can sit and do a little stargazing
Get a little bit of alone time in, in the A.M
Oh, yeah, in the A.M., ha!
