Do It Yourself Night

By Jimmie Young © Jimmie Young Music December 11, 2014



Went out to the honky tonk looking for a friend
Sometimes who don’t matter when your heart is on the mend
But I struck out three or four times, try hard as I might
And I’m driving home alone now
It’s a do it yourself night

Been wearing my best clothes out, even got me a hair cut
I’m buying drinks for pretty girls, and sucking in my gut
Well it don’t seem to be working, and I’m feeling darned contrite
Now I’m driving home alone again
It’s a do it yourself night

You gotta do it yourself, you gotta understand
Sometimes you just can’t find no one, who will give you a hand
You gotta do it yourself, you gotta go with the flow
Do it yourself by all means, but don’t let nobody know

I rented me a limo, it’s got a fridge and a TV
I had the driver tell everyone I had me a PH.D
But I guess some girls just don’t care if a fella ain’t too bright
Now I’m watching TV in a limousine
On this do it yourself night

You gotta do it yourself, you gotta understand
Sometimes you just can’t find no one, who will give you a hand
You gotta do it yourself, you gotta go with the flow
Do it yourself by all means, But don’t let nobody know

You gotta do it yourself, you gotta go with the flow
Do it yourself by all means, but don’t let anyone know
You gotta do it yourself, you know what I mean
It’s just like pulling the handle on a Shiny slot machine
