Verse: 
           D7 
It's the middle of the week 

I'm just drivin' home 
     G 
The sun's goin' down and nothin's goin' on  
             D7 
They play "Whiskey River" I turn it up 
      G                                  *** 
And suddenly it hit me how thirsty I was 
           C 
It's only Wednesday night gotta get up early 
    G                                      ** 
To tell you the truth I ain't that worried  
        D7 
'Bout that right now 
                               G                ** 
So I think I'm gonna head downtown and get loud
