Lyrics
[Intro] (Spoken over bouncy riff - G, C, D progression) "Now he's thinkin' 'bout me every Friday night… wonder why? Y'all ready?" [Verse 1] Now he's tossin' in his sheets, countin' porch light beams Blames the whiskey for the way he can't forget my jeans Says it's that fire in my laugh, the spark when I walk by But deep down he knows it's the trouble in these eyes [Pre-Chorus] Stir the pot, take it slow, left boot, right boot, whoa Flip the script like a jukebox on a dirt-road show Says he can't sleep, honey, I know That's the midnight brew we both let flow [Chorus] I can't relate to desperation My heart's on vacation, no hesitation Got this one fella and he won't quit callin' When they chase like that, I know I should But darlin', I'm just gettin' started [Post-Chorus] Hold up, what the hell you doin'? He's dreamin' 'bout me every night, oh That pull too tight? I reckon so Says he can't sleep, honey, I know That's the midnight brew That pull too tight? I reckon so Says he can't sleep, honey, I know Oh, that's the midnight brew [Verse 2] Grind the beans at dawn, pour 'em black as midnight sin One swallow and you're hooked 'til the mornin' sets in He tips his hat, I flash a grin, we both pretend it's fine But that first sip lingers like a slow-burnin' pine [Pre-Chorus] Stir the pot, take it slow, left boot, right boot, whoa Flip the script like a jukebox on a dirt-road show Says he can't sleep, honey, I know That's the midnight brew we both let flow [Chorus] I can't relate to desperation My heart's on vacation, no hesitation Got this one fella and he won't quit callin' When they chase like that, I know I should But darlin', I'm just gettin' started [Post-Chorus] Hold up, what the hell you doin'? He's dreamin' 'bout me every night, oh That pull too tight? I reckon so Says he can't sleep, honey, I know That's the midnight brew That pull too tight? I reckon so Says he can't sleep, honey, I know Oh, that's the midnight brew [Bridge] (Slower, winkin' - Am, G, C, F progression) Did you catch the evenin' news? It whispers the same old line "He don't want forever, just a taste of that shine" Well, that shine keeps 'em comin' back every time [Final Chorus] Hold up, boy, what the hell you doin'? You're dreamin' 'bout me every night, oh That pull too tight? I reckon so Says you can't sleep, honey, I know That's the midnight brew (Yeah, that's me, wide awake… wait, you?) [Outro] (Laughin') "One more dance? Thought so. Last one's always the best."
