Lyricist : Beathard, Phillips

Well it's Friday evenin' six o'clock

And all my friends are twistin' off

I'm at the house just turnin' on TV

And they all wonder why I've changed

How many times must I explain

It's basic honky tonk anatomy

The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone

The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long

And she won't think it's funny

And I'll wind up all alone

And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone

Hey two plus two is always four

And down is south and up is north

Thirty-two degrees is freezing cold

You play with fire you end up burned

The early-bird gets the worm

But the only thing you really need to know

Is

The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone

The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long

And she won't think it's funny

And I'll wind up all alone

And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone

Hey sing it with me

Let's make sure you know

The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone

The party bone's connected tot he stayin' out all night long

And she won't think it's funny

And I'll wind up all alone

And the lonely bone's connected the

The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone

The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long

And she won't think it's funny

And I'll wind up all alone

And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
