Joe Nichols - Tonight I'm Playing Possum Lyrics

Joe Nichols w/ Randy Travis

I'm gonna need a strong one
It's gonna be a long one
In case you hadn't heard
He Stopped Loving Her Today

So I'm dusting off the vinyl
It's gonna be an all nighter
I'm warning ya now
From here on out boys
I'll be the DJ

(chorus)
So find a drink or find a robe
I'm bout to drop the needle on some old no show
You're gonna want an ashtray and a bottle
I'm going deep and going long until I
Run that needle through every last song he ever sung
So pour em strong and smoke em if you got em
Tonight I'm playing Possum

I bet he'd step right up singing
Right now he's bringing
Every angel in that house up there
To tears

So close the door and lock em up
And if you see me chokin up
Just down the lights cause boys tonight
What happens here stays here

(chorus)

Bartender's Blues and Why Baby Why
Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes
Still Doing Time
I'm going deep I'm going long
Until I run that needle through every last song
He ever sung
So pour em strong and smoke em if you got em
Tonight I'm playing Possum
Tonight I'm playing Possum

I'm gonna need a strong one
It's gonna be a long one
In case ya hadn't heard
He Stopped Loving Her Today
