A Girls Night Out
Wynonna Judd Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Friday finally came around
This girl's ready to paint the town
Tonight ain't nothin' gonna slow me down

I did my time workin' all week
Tonight's all mine, tomorrow I'll sleep
I wanna hear a band with a country sound

[Chorus]
Well, I've been couped up all week long
I've been workin' my fingers to the bone
Well, it's a girl's night out
Honey, there ain't no doubt
I'm gonna dance every dance 'til the boys go home
Well, it's my night to rock
No watchin' that ol' clock
Oh, ain't no doubt, Lordy it's a girl's night out

Two step or the Cotton Eye Joe
They can play 'em fast or they can play 'em slow
I can do 'em all just show me the floor
You can give me a little rock 'n roll
Or even a waltz with the lights down low
I'll still be dancin' when they close the door

[Chorus]

Well, it's a girl's night out
Honey, there ain't no doubt
I'm gonna dance every dance 'til the boys go home
Well, it's my night to rock
No watchin' that ol' clock
Oh, ain't no doubt, Lordy it's a girl's night out

Friday finally came around
This girl's ready to paint the town
Tonight ain't nothin' gonna slow me down

I did my time workin' all week

Tonight's all mine, tomorrow I'll sleep
I wanna hear a band with a country sound
