(Capo on 2)

(Intro.)
|(G) / / / | x 8 Bars

(Verse 1)
(G)Jessie’s a mechanic, his mother-in-law's a manic
His (G)new wife is in a panic, sayin', "When you comin' home?"
(C)Danny drives a tractor, left it in the pasture
(G)Bosses gettin' madder 'cause he won't pick up the phone
Might (D)not be an ivy league Einstein crowd
But when it (G)comes to Friday night, man, we got it figured out

(Chorus)
When the (C)long (Bb)weeks' (C)pay checks are (Bb)cashed
(G)Where we gonna spend it, buddy, you ain't gotta ask
When the (C)ne-(Bb)on (C)lights are kickin' (Bb)on
(G)All of us are headin' to a homе away from home
We don't (D)look like much but wе're pretty damn smart
For some (G)good ol' boys that can't pass the bar

(Solo)
|(G) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) / / / |(D) / / / |

(Verse 2)
(G)Bobby's gotta cousin that says he's good for nothin'
Always (G)makin' fun of him 'cause he doesn't own a suit
(C)Freddy's ex-lady, got a new Mercedes
From the (G)judge she's datin' down in Baton Rouge
He's the (D)book smart, no dark bull shootin' kind
That's why she (G)shows back up every other Friday night

(Chorus)
When the (C)long (Bb)weeks' (C)pay checks are (Bb)cashed
(G)Where we gonna spend it, buddy, you ain't gotta ask
When the (C)ne-(Bb)on (C)lights are kickin' (Bb)on
(G)All of us are headin' to a homе away from home
We don't (D)look like much but wе're pretty damn smart
For some (G)good ol' boys that can't pass the bar

(Bridge)
When you're (G)raised out here, you are who you are
That (G)two-lane road will only get you so far
We can (G)pass around cigars, guitars and jars
But (G)we can't, we can't, can't pass the bar |(G) / / / |(G) / /

When the (C)long (Bb)weeks' (C)pay checks are (Bb)cashed
(G)Where we gonna spend it, buddy, you ain't gotta ask

(G)All of us are headin' to a homе away from home
We don't (D)look like much but wе're pretty damn smart
For some (G)good ol' boys that can't pass the bar
Just some (G)good ol' boys that can't pass the bar / / / |
