Verse: 
           D7 
It's the middle of the week 

I'm just drivin' home 
     G 
The sun's goin' down and nothin's goin' on  
             D7 
They play "Whiskey River" I turn it up 
      G                                  *** 
And suddenly it hit me how thirsty I was 
           C 
It's only Wednesday night gotta get up early 
    G                                      ** 
To tell you the truth I ain't that worried  
        D7 
'Bout that right now 
                               G                ** 
So I think I'm gonna head downtown and get loud  


Chorus: 
          D7 
Well it's one of them nights                     *** 
                           ## G    **        E -------- 
Feels like we ought to be drinkin'           B -------- 
          D7                                 G -------- 
We gotta get a little rowdy                  D -------- 
                                G  --***-->  A -0-2-3--          
Like we're livin' in a country song          E -------- 
      C                     
Well some nights are made for stayin' at home 
   G                                       ** 
Sittin' on the couch and watchin' TV alone 
      D7 
But tonight it sure feels like 
               G     ** 
We oughta be drinkin' 


Verse: 
 D7 
I'll be dammed I'm not the only one here 
                 G                                     ** 
Looks like the whole dang town's in the mood for a beer 
              D7 
It ain't the weekend ain't even two-for-one night  
             G                                     *** 
Guess we're just drawn to that heavenly neon light 
          C 
I might hate my job, what's your excuse  
               G                                     ** 
You've got a broken heart or you're just thirsty too 
          D7 
Could be anything but whatever the case 
G                                                ** 
I think we're all plannin' on gettin' shit-faced 



          D7 
Well it's one of them nights 
                           ## G   ** 
Feels like we ought to be drinkin' 
          D7 
We gotta get a little rowdy  
                                G   *** 
Like we're livin' in a country song  
       C 
Well some nights are made for stayin' at home 
    G                                      ** 
Sittin' on the couch and watchin' TV alone 
      D7 
But tonight it sure feels like 
               ## G   ** 
We oughta be drinkin'

Oh, some nights are made for stayin' at home 
        G                                      ** 
Roll a big fat one and watchin' Nashville alone 
      D7 
But tonight it sure feels like 
              ## G   ** 
We oughta be drinkin'
