Tonight I'm Playin' Possum (Duet with Joe Nichols) - H, Joe Nichols

I’m gonna need a strong one,

It’s gonna be a long one

In case you haven’t heard, he stopped loving her today

So I’m dusting off the vinyl

It’s gonna be an all nighter

I’m warning you now, from here on out

Boys, I’ll be the DJ

So, find a drink or find the road

I’m about to drop a needle on some ole No-Show

You’re gonna want an ashtray and a bottle

I’m going deep and going long

Till I run that needle through every last song

He ever sung, so pour 'em strong and smoke 'em if you got 'em

Tonight, I’m playing Possum

I’ll bet he stepped right up singin',

Right now, he’s bringin'

Every angel in that House up there to tears

So, close the doors and lock 'em up

And if you see me chokin' up

Just dim the lights, but boys,

Tonight, what happens here stays here

So, find a drink or find the road

I’m about to drop a needle on some ole No-Show

You’re gonna want an ashtray and a bottle

I’m going deep and going long

Till I run that needle through every last song

He ever sung, so pour 'em strong and smoke 'em if you got 'em

Boys, tonight, I’m playing Possum

«Bartender's Blues» and «Why, Baby, Why»

«Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes», «Still Doing Time»

I’m going deep, I’m going long

Till I run that needle through every last song

He ever sung, so pour 'em strong and smoke 'em if you got 'em

Tonight, I’m playing Possum

Tonight, I’m playing Possum

I’m gonna need a strong one

It’s gonna be a long one

In case you haven’t heard, he stopped loving her today
