It’s On Tonight
Nashville Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pushed a button somewhere and made the whole place start to come alive
Got some Friday night money, room full of honeys
Like dominoes ready to fall
Got me wishing I could dance with em all
Even when the music goes off
'Cause it's on tonight
Gonna keep it rolling just as long as we can
Yeah it's on tonight
Getting down with it
Filling up and lifting up a drink in our hand
Country girls are ready to rock
We won't be stopping 'til the boots come off
Come on
'Cause it's on, yeah it's on tonight
They went from Funky Cole Medina into Dust On The Bottle never slowing down
Little cutie in the corner got her hand in my pocket for a lap around
I said hey good looking, she said what's cooking?
I said whatever you got in mind
I must be doing something right
I can tell by the look in her eye
That it's on tonight
Got the party going
Gonna keep it rolling just as long as we can
Yeah it's on tonight
Getting down with it
Filling up and lifting up a drink in our hand
Country girls are ready to rock
We won't be stopping 'til the boots come off
Come on
'Cause it's on, yeah it's on tonight
Sure hard to pull the plug
Once you get it started up
'Cause it's on tonight
Got the party going
Gonna keep it rolling just as long as we can
Yeah it's on tonight
Getting down with it
Filling up and lifting up a drink in our hand
Country girls are ready to rock
We won't be stopping 'til the boots come off
Come on
'Cause it's on, yeah it's on tonight
So come on
'Cause it's on, yeah it's on tonight
