"The Twelve-Thirty Clube"
[Verse 1]
Hey, I know you wanted me to stay
But I really can’t ignore those crazy pics of me in that way
So I heard ‘bout this place in Nashville
Where guys and gals can all be drunk in the middle of the day
[Pre-chorus]
I’m still dreaming ‘bout leavin’ Tennessee
I hear the waves in Corpus Christi callin’ me’
Mama and daddy won’t be proud, it sure ain’t their scene
When they see their baby girl, I know they’re gonna scream
[Chorus]
“What—have you become?
It’s only Twelve-Thirty girl, and you’re drunk at a club”
Oh, daddy, I’m just havin’ fun
Up on this bar in my boots
I’m right where I belong, right here at the…
Twelve Thirty Club…
I’m gonna keep on drinkin’ at the Twelve Thirty Club
I’m gonna keep on drinkin’ down here on Broadway
I’m gonna keep on drinkin’ at the Twelve Thirty Club
…Twelve Thirty Club
[Verse 2]
I’m up but my draws are on the floor
Now I’m in the bathroom—not much fun anymore…
Buzzing lights with graffiti on the stall
Every night’s another party, every day’s another fall
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m still dreamin’ ‘bout leavin’ Tennessee
I hear the waves in Corpus Christi callin’ me’
Mama and daddy won’t be proud, it sure ain’t their scene
When they see their baby girl—I know they’re gonna scream
[Chorus]
“Oh, what have you done?
It’s only Twelve-Thirty girl, and you’re drunk at a club”
Oh, daddy, I’m just havin’ some fun
Up on this bar in my boots
I’m right where I belong, right here at the…
Twelve Thirty Club…
I’m gonna keep on drinkin’ at the Twelve Thirty Club
I’m gonna keep on drinkin’ down here on Broadway
I’m gonna keep on drinkin’ at the Twelve Thirty Club
…Twelve Thirty Club
[Verse 3]
Hey Mama, now I’m serving time…
Still love you and daddy—but I don’t have a dime
And, daddy, can you come get me
I can hear the judgment in your voice, down here in jail, sayin’
[Chorus]
“What have you become?
It’s only Twelve-Thirty girl, and you’re drunk at a club”
Oh, daddy, I’m just havin’ some fun
Up on this bar in my boots
I’m right where I belong, right here at the…
Twelve Thirty Club…
I’m gonna keep on drinkin’ at the Twelve Thirty Club
I’m gonna keep on drinkin’ down here on Broadway
I’m gonna keep on drinkin’ at the Twelve Thirty Club
…Twelve Thirty Club
I’m gonna keep on drinkin’
I’m gonna keep on drinkin’
