Lyrics

Stand on the bar, stomp your feet, start clappin’Got a real good feelin’ somethin’ bad about to happen
Pulled up to the church, but I got so nervousHad to back it on up, couldn’t make it to the serviceGrabbed all the cash underneath my mattressGot a real good feelin’ somethin’ bad about to happen
Ran into a girl in a pretty white dressRolled down the window“Where you headed to next?”Said “I’m headed to the bar with my money out of the mattress”Got a real good feelin’ somethin’ bad about to happen
Stand on the bar, stomp your feet, start clappin’I got a real good feelin’ somethin’ bad about to happenThe drinks keep comin’, throw my head back laughin’Wake up in the mornin’, don’t know what happenedWhoa, somethin’ badWhoa, somethin’ bad
Now me and that girl that I met on the streetWe’re rollin’ down the road, down to New OrleansGot a full tank of gas and the money out of the mattressGot a real good feelin’ somethin’ bad about to happen
‘Bout to tear it up down in New OrleansJust like a real-life Thelma and LouiseIf the cops catch up, they’re gonna call it kidnappin’Got a real good feelin’ somethin’ bad about to happen
Stand on the bar, stomp your feet, start clappin’I got a real good feelin’ somethin’ bad about to happenThe drinks keep comin’, throw my head back laughin’Wake up in the mornin’, don’t know what happenedWhoa, somethin’ badWhoa, somethin’ bad
Stand on the bar, stomp your feet, start clappin’Got a real good feelin’ somethin’ bad about to happenAnd the drinks keep comin’, throw my head back laughin’Wake up in the mornin’, don’t know what happened(Yeah, yeah, yeah)Whoa, somethin’ badWhoa, somethin’ bad
