Watch your money! And your alcohol! Cause when the tide rolls out and the ships go down, You know you're gonna take a fall.
He's from the country. (He's from the country) He's from the city. (He's from the city) You better step aside, you better run and hide, When the dirt road and blacktop collide!
Watch your money! And your alcohol! Cause when the tide rolls out and the ships go down, You know you're gonna take a fall.
He loves his city nights. (City nights) He loves his honky-tonk lights. (Honky-tonk lights) North and south, what it's all about, Abandoned sons, brothers no doubt.
Watch your money! And your alcohol! Cause when the tide rolls out and the ships go down, You know you're gonna take a fall. Take a fall.
(He's from the country) (He's from the city)
(Solo)
Watch your money! And your alcohol! Cause when the tide rolls out and the ships go down, You know you're gonna take a fall. Take a fall.
