Randy Travis - Tonight I’m Playin’ Possum lyrics

rate me

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 panel

It’s gonna be an all-nighter

But wouldn’t you know

I’m here all night boys

I’ll be the DJ

So find a draper, find a robe

I’m about to

Drop the needle on some long long show

Going long

An ashtray and a bottle

I’m going deep and going long

Till I’ve run that needle through every last song

Every song

Some boy strong

Smoke’em if you got’em

Tonight I’m playing possum

I bet he stepped right up singing

Right now he’s bringing every angel

In that house of tears

So close doors and lock’em up

And if you see me chocking up

Just dim the lights

‘Cause tonight

What happens here stays here

So find a draper, find a robe

I’m about to

Drop the needle on some long long show

Going long

An ashtray and a bottle

I’m going deep and going long

Till I’ve run that needle through every last song

Every song

Some boy strong

Smoke’em if you got’em

Tonight I’m playing possum

Bartender’s blues and white baby wine

Who’s gonna fill their shoes

Still doing time

I’m going deep

I’m going long

Till I’ve run that needle through every last song

Every song

Some boy strong

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
