Oughta Know That Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Anybody else find themselves
In a 'shoulda done this, shoulda done that'?
Try to do the best you can
'Cause you wanna be good but you love to be bad
Your stress relief comes with the need
To kick the work week's ass
If you're feelin' this then catch a buzz
And go on and raise your glass

[Chorus]
There's always one more beer you gotta drink
One more girl you gotta meet
One more song on the jukebox
Spendin' my money like it don't stop
Could blame it all on my roots
My honky-tonk attitude
I'm feelin' this temptation in my current situation
But morning's gonna come, gonna be early
Gotta go to work, gonna get dirty
Shoulda stayed in, instead I went out
But I oughta know that by now

[Verse 2]
Had me a girl but it went south
Whatever was workin' didn't work out
It could've been my ramblin' ways
My rowdy friends, hell, I can't say
Ain't got time for slowing down
I'm shiftin' gears and headin' out
A good time's callin' my name
So just get outta my way, yeah
[Chorus]
One more beer you gotta drink
One more girl you gotta meet
One more song on the jukebox
Spendin' my money like it don't stop
Could blame it all on my roots
My honky-tonk attitude
I'm feelin' this temptation in my current situation
But morning's gonna come, gonna be early
Gotta go to work, gonna get dirty
Shoulda stayed in, instead I went out
But I oughta know that by now

[Bridge]
Some day I'm gonna learn
But it ain't gonna be tonight, uh

[Chorus]
One more beer you gotta drink
One more girl you gotta meet
One more song on the jukebox
Spendin' my money like it don't stop
Could blame it all on my roots
My honky-tonk attitude
I'm feelin' this temptation in my current situation
But morning's gonna come, gonna be early
Gotta go to work, gonna get dirty
Shoulda stayed in, instead I went out
But I oughta know that by now
[Outro]
I oughta know that by now, yeah
Woo!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
