(Oh yeah that's right)
I'm gonna find a bar
I'm gonna get loud
I'm gonna get lost
In the lights
In the redneck crowd
I'm gonna get crazy
And forget about yesterday
You can come with me
Or get the hell out of my way
Pour me a tall one, something strong
Pour this whole bar a round
I don't wanna drink alone
Anything you got
It'll help ease my pain
Just mix it all in there
I'll take anything
I'm out here running in a wild direction
Nights like this were made for going insane
Lets crank this party up to shear perfection
I don't give a damn what tomorrow brings
(Hey) I'll take anything
Some day I'll find a girl
I'll sweep her off her feet,
Were gonna have a little fun
And dance out in the street
Were gonna fall in love
And I'll buy her a diamond ring,
Ohha but not tonight
(Hell) I'll take anything
I'm out here running in a wild direction
Nights like this were made for going insane
Lets crank this party up to shear perfection
I don't give a damn what tomorrow brings
The poison I am drinking better bet out of the wayyy!
I'm out here running in a wild direction
(And) nights like this were made for going insane
Lets crank this party up to shear perfection
I don' t give a damn what tomorrow brings
There's nothing left for me to loose or gain
(And) I'll take anything
I'll take anything!
I'll take anything!
The song "I'll Take Anything" by Roger Creager is a classic country rock anthem about letting go and living in the moment. The lyrics describe the singer's desire to go out to a bar, get lost in the lights, music and redneck crowd, and forget about yesterday. The singer implores the bartender to pour him a tall, strong drink, and insists that he doesn't want to drink alone. He tells the listeners that he'll take anything to help ease his pain and let him run wild.
The second half of the song paints a picture of the singer's future plans, which include falling in love and sweeping a girl off her feet. However, tonight, he just wants to let loose and take anything that comes his way. At the end of the song, the lyrics express that there is nothing left for the singer to lose or gain, and he will take anything that the night may bring him.
Overall, the song showcases the idea of enjoying the present moment and not worrying about what tomorrow might bring. It celebrates the freedom and joy of letting go, dancing, drinking, and having a good time.
