Lyrics

Yeehaw!

The night ain’t over yet
Nah, the night ain’t over yet

In Texas, they say everything's bigger
And the girls have hearts like a hairpin trigger
So have a drink but don’t you figure
On stayin’ single too long

In a little town called Abilene
I met a spitfire named Cindy Jean
About the prettiest girl I’d ever seen
And man, she could kiss just fine

Her hair was long and her eyes were green,
She had a streak that was kinda mean but ya know I didn't mind

The night ain’t over yet, not by a Texas mile
Every little town’s got a girl with a wild smile
From Abilene to the Corpus Bay
I’m meetin’ hearts along the way
One dance, one drink, one sweet regret—
The night ain’t over yet

I met Alice down in a little town called Alice
She claimed she hailed from north in Dallas
Took me drivin’ down to Corpus Christi
Got drunk, got fed, then took on the city

Woke up with a cotton tongue
A pounding head, the rising sun
No clue what we said or what we'd done
But it must've been a lot of fun

The night ain’t over yet, not by a Texas mile
Every little town’s got a girl with a wild smile
From Abilene to Corpus Bay
I’m meetin’ hearts along the way
One dance, one drink, one sweet regret—
The night ain’t over yet

Down in Laredo I met Jolene
Dancin’ boots and tight blue jeans
Said, “Boy, don’t fall too fast for me”
Then kissed me ‘til I couldn’t see

We two-stepped ‘til we lost our breath
She whispered, “Come on now, don’t play dead”
Her number's inked on my right arm still
Right under “Don’t forget the bill”

Sweet Marie from San Antone
Said, “You ain’t leavin’ here alone”
Pulled me close on the rodeo floor
Then dragged me out the back barn door

She talked fast but she kissed slow
Said, “Darlin’, you just never know…”
I left that night with a flattened hat
And you know, I may just go back, I just may

Carol Ann from Abell City
Man, that girl was Texas pretty
Kissed her first behind a big ole pine
Wished I’d had a little more time

Sherry and Cindy Berry too
Said they’d love me through and through
I said, “Ladies, I think I can find some time...”
They winked and said, “That suits us fine”

The night ain’t over yet, not by a Texas mile
Every little town’s got a girl with a wild smile
From Abilene to Corpus Bay
I’m meetin’ hearts along the way
One dance, one drink, one sweet regret—
Girls, the night ain’t over yet

Nah, the night ain’t over yet
One more beer, one more bet
The night ain’t over yet
Y’all ain’t seen nothin’ yet
