Gretchen Wilson › Lyrics › You Don't Have to Go Home

Well, they're flickin’ on the bar lights, band's playin’ one last song
And if you want another round better order it now it's last call
Crowd’s still rockin’ and it’s 2:01
The bartender’s screamin’ at the top of his lungs

You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here
You can walk, you can crawl, get carried off by the law
But you will get the hell out of here

You don't have to go home
You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here

Well, there’s a couple hidin' out, gettin’ down in a bathroom stall
And there's a 20 dollar bet just waitin’ on the eight ball to fall
Everybody's beggin' for one last shot
Before they kick our butts into the parking lot

You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here
You can walk, you can crawl, get carried off by the law
But you will get the hell out of here

You don't have to go home
You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here

You don't have to go home
You don't have to go home
You don't have to go home

You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here
You can walk, you can crawl, get carried off by the law
But you will get the hell out of here

You don't have to go home
You don't have to go home
You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here
