Got the top down6 and Skynyrd7 up,8
We’re laid back,9 but we’re on the up10
Ain’t nothin’ like a Friday night,
And that smell11 to getcha feelin’ right,12
I’ve waited all week for this,
The head party I don’t wanna miss13

And it’s takin’ control,15
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Baby, come on, let it go!16

Creepin’ up slow, hangin’ ’round my back door, my back door,
If we get caught, everyone’ll see us stoned, see us stoned,17
Me and Mary Jane got a thing goin’ on, goin’ on
We’re livin’ for the good time,
Good friends across the county line,18
The climb is gettin’ steeper,19
So baby, don’t fear the reaper
At midnight, another round,
Fire it up just to burn it down,20
It don’t come any cheaper,
And nothin’ tastes sweeter21
Somethin’ in the air,
And it’s takin’ control,
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Baby, come on, let it go!
Me and Mary Jane got a thing goin’ on, goin’ on
Creepin’ up slow, hangin’ ’round my back door, my back door,
If we get caught, everyone’ll see us stoned, see us stoned,
Me and Mary Jane got a thing goin’ on, goin’ on
Me and Mary Jane got a thing goin’ on, goin’ on
Creepin’ up slow, hangin’ ’round my back door, my back door,
If we get caught, everyone’ll see us stoned, see us stoned,
Me and Mary Jane got a thing goin’ on, goin’ on22
