I Pick My Parties

Toby Keith · Other Songs - Toby Keith

Well, I don't go out all the time

What kinda fool do you think I am?

But a rowdy Wednesday nighter

Ain't really somethin' you can plan



Gotta be at work by 7, that's right

I should be gettin' home, that's right

I used to do this all the time

But now I really don't



I pick my parties that's what I do

I wish that I could hit 'em all

But I've got to pick and choose



I'd be pushin' up daisies

If I did it every day of the week

So I pick my parties

Oh, but sometimes they pick me



Good ones always happen

At the most inconvenient time

But once it gets a goin' and is rollin'

Ain't no slowin' down the night, oh come on!



That ole' sun might be risin'

'Fore I get to bed

But I make sure it's always

With the poundin' in my head



I pick my parties that's what I do

I wish that I could hit 'em all

But you got to pick and choose



I'd be pushin' up daisies

If I did it every day of the week

So I pick my parties

Oh, but sometimes they pick me



And if I'm gonna do it

I'm gonna do it right

Yeah, if I'm goin' out

I'm goin' out all night



We pick our parties that's what we do

We wish that we could hit 'em all

But we've got to pick and choose



We'd be pushin' up daisies

If we did it every day of the week

So I pick my parties

Oh, but sometimes



I pick my parties

Oh, but sometimes

We pick our parties

Oh, but sometimes they pick Toby, T and me



How do like us now, baby?
