Randy Travis - Tonight I'm Playin' Possum Lyrics

I'm gonna need a strong one, it's gonna be a long one
In case you haven't heard he stopped loving her today
So I'm dusting off the vinyl, it's gonna be an all-nighter
I'm warning you now, from here on out, boys, I'll be the DJ

So find a drink or find a road, I'm 'bout to drop a needle on some ol' no show
You're gonna want an ashtray and a bottle
I'm going deep, I'm going long 'til 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'll bet he'd step right up singing, right now he's bringing
Every angel in that house up there to tears
So close the doors and lock 'em up, and if you see me choking up
Just dim the light cause, boys, tonight what happens here stays here

So find a drink or find a road, I'm 'bout to drop a needle on some ol' no show
You're gonna want an ashtray and a bottle
I'm going deep, I'm going long 'til I run that needle through every last song
He ever sung, so pour 'em strong and smoke 'em if you got 'em
Boys, tonight I'm playing Possum

Bartender's Blues and Why Baby Why
Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes, Still Doing Time

I'm going deep, I'm going long 'til 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 you haven't heard, he stopped loving her today
