[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Well I clocked out about a quarter after I had mostly checked out mentally
G
Spent the bulk of the daylight dreaming in delight of finally kicking up my feet
C
Bust out my biggest hoops, jumped into my jeans I can really only stand up in
G D G
Find a fella wearin’ denim tight as he can fit em, see if he can keep up past ten
[Chorus]

Hey I wanna get to know ya tonight
D
Have a little fun when my work is done

Play ‘til the sun’ll come when the daylight’s done
G
Save me from my troubled mind
[Verse 2]
G
Well I’m drawn to jokers, for some godforsaken reason smokers
C
Or they’re just at the bars I’m in
D
Men who love their women, who will laugh and stand up with ‘em
G
And know when to bow out again
G
Don’t push past me at my waist, say excuse me to my face
C
I can shuffle out the way all night
D
Respect your bartenders, if you tip em do be generous
G
It don’t cost none to be polite
[Chorus]

Hey I wanna get to know ya tonight

Have a little fun when my work is done

Hey I wanna get to know ya tonight

G
Save me from my troubled mind
