She said, "I'm tired of those boots being dirty all the time
All your huntin' stuff and your three-day scruff you know I don't like"
And then she started on all my friends and all my drinkin'
Well, speaking of my friends and speaking of my drinkin'

(One, two, three, four!)

I cut her loose and tied one on
Cooled down my favorite honky tonk
Don't know why I waited so damn long
I cut her loose and tied one on

Yeah, I was drinking like George Jones, dancing like Elvis
Told my friends what happened and they all said, "Hell yeah!"
Lotta high-fives and a lotta beer went down
Asked me where she is now, I don't give a damn now

(One, two, three, four!)

I cut her loose and tied one on
Cooled down my favorite honky tonk
Don't know why I waited so damn long
I cut her loose and tied one on

Saw a blonde at the jukebox punchin' up some Haggard
Used to be tied down, now it doesn't matter
We were standin' and a-twirlin', all up in them curves when
She said, "Wait... do you have a girlfriend?"
Nope!

I cut her loose and tied one on
Cooled down my favorite honky tonk
Don't know why I waited so damn long
I cut her loose and tied one on

I cut her loose and tied one on
Cooled down my favorite honky tonk
Don't know why I waited so damn long
I cut her loose and tied one on, yeah
