Saved all money for this Saturday
Got all my work done on time
Well finally kid, nothing can stop us now
Coming rain or shine

Every sweet thing on the street corner
“Hey, can I give you a ride…?”

We’re just cruisin’ and boozin’
Trying to have a good time, that’s all, baby
Cruisin’ and boozin’
Out with some friends of mine, huh

Someday, I’m gonna beat this race
Be on top, you’ll see
Step myself out across that line
And be anything I wanna be

But right now, everything’s alright
Out here in the streets

Just-a cruisin’ and boozin’
Trying to have a good time, ain’t tryin’ to do nothin’ wrong
Cruisin’ and boozin’
Out with some friends of mine

We got JD in the back seat
We drink nothin’ but the best
Pump a buck in the gas tank
Oh, we’ll drink up the rest
Yeah, we’ll drink up the rest

Cruisin’ and boozin’
Trying to have a good time, ow
Cruisin’ and boozin’
Out with some friends of mine

Friends of mine, friends of mine were cruisin’ and boozin’
Trying to have a good time, that’s all, Saturday night’s alright
Cruisin’ and boozin’
Out with some friends of mine, oh yeah
