[Verse 1]
Well it’s Friday night and somebody better knock on wood
I got my hand around this guitar and I’m feelin’ pretty doggone good
Don’t pinch me if I’m dreamin’ ‘cause I don’t wanna wake up now
I’ve been waitin’ on this moment ever since my mama pushed me out

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, there’s a party, party
One hell of a time of my life
Oh yeah, there’s a party, party
When I sing about my trouble and strife
Oh yeah, there’s a party, party, party
Oh there’s a party back in Georgia tonight

[Verse 2]
All my friends come and listen to me play my songs
They always drink too much, jump and shout, and start to sing along
No one can understand it how do we keep selling this place out
We ain't even got a record deal, what’s the fussin’ all about
Well I know

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, there’s a party, party
One hell of a time of our lives
Oh yeah, there’s a party, party
When I sing about my trouble and strife
Oh yeah, there’s a party, party, party
Oh there’s a party here tonight
Oh yeah, there’s a party, party back in Athens tonight

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Oh yeah there’s a party, a party, a party here tonight
Good Lord there's a party, a party, a party here tonight
Good god party, a party, a party here tonight
And I’m gonna sing about my trouble and strife
Lord, Lord, Lord know's this
Party, party, party one hell of a time of my life
Oh yeah there’s a party, party
Party, oh Lord there's a party down on Clayton street tonight
