Harold's been on that stool since '88
Said he'd quit coming — it's always too late
Donna tends bar like she invented the pour
Been here since the place opened back in '74
Last song starts and the whole room finds the floor
This is what a Friday night is for
County road closing time, lights going low
Band's on their last song but nobody goes
This bar's been calling last call since '74
County road closing time — back for more
Couple on the floor's been dancing forty years
She still leans in like the music's all she hears
Bobby Lee won't say it but this place saved his life
Lost the farm in '09, found it here that night
Last song starts and the whole room finds the floor
This is what a Friday night is for
County road closing time, lights going low
Band's on their last song but nobody goes
This bar's been calling last call since '74
County road closing time — back for more
Last call rings, half the room ignores it
Donna pours one more — nobody reports it
Neon sign's been flickering since 2005
Every Friday Harold fixes it — it survives
Come November when the nights get long and cold
There's a light on at the end of the county road
Harold's on his stool, Donna's got the pour
Same Friday night — this place knows what it's for
County road closing time, lights going low
Band's on their last song but nobody goes
This bar's been calling last call since '74
County road closing time — back for more
