LYRICS:
Longneck bottle
let go of my hand
And jukebox don't start playing that song again
'Cause there's a girl at home who loves me
You know she won't understand
Longneck bottle
let go of my hand

Well barroom mirror on the wall
Go stare at someone else
Don't show the world the fool I am
Just keep it to yourself

Longneck bottle
let go of my hand
And jukebox don't start playing that song again
There's a girl at home who loves me
You know she won't understand
Longneck bottle
let go of my hand

[solo]

Well, dance floor, seems you're underneath my feet
Everywhere I turn
I ought to waltz right out of those swingin' doors
But that's one step I can't learn

Longneck bottle
let go of my hand
And jukebox don't start playing that song again
There's a girl at home who loves me
You know she won't understand
Longneck bottle
let go of my hand

Well, if she thought there was someone else
Our romance would be through
So barstool we can't let her know
