Lyrics of
Tonight I'm Playin Possum

verse 1
I'm gonna need a strong one, it's gonna be a long one
In case you haven't heard, "He Stopped Loving Her Today"
So I'm dustin' off the vinyl, it's gonna be an all nighter
I'm warnin' you now, from here on out, boys, I'll be the DJ
So find a drink or find a road, I'm about to drop a needle on some ol' No Show
You're gonna want an ashtrey and a bottle
I'm goin' deep and goin' long ?etil I run that needle through every last song he ever sung
So pour 'em strong and smoke 'em, if you got 'em, to- night I'm playin' Possum
verse 2
I bet he'd step right up singin'
Right now he's bringin' every angel in the house up there to tears
So close the doors and lock 'em up, and if you see me chokin' up
Just dim the lights, 'cause boys, tonight what happens here stays here
So find a drink or find a road, I'm about to drop a needle on some more "No Show"
You're gonna want an ashtrey and a bottle
I'm goin' deep and goin' long ?etil I run that needle through every last song he ever sung
Bridge
"Bartender's Blues" and "Why Baby Why"
"Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes", "Still Ding Time"
I'm goin' deep and goin' long ?etil I run that needle through every last song he ever sung
Tonight I'm playin' Possum
I'm gonna need a strong one, it's gonna be a long one
In case you haven't heard, "He Stopped Loving Her To- day"
