I’ll find a clean pair of jeans & I’ll even iron my shirt

Shine up these ol’ boots & try to dance away the hurt,

Find a honky tonkin’ band, deal myself a brand new hand,

‘Cause tonight I refuse to be blue

Tonight I refuse to be blue

I refuse to walk this floor over you

I’ve thought the whole thing through, and darlin’ now I’m through with you

Yeah, tonight I refuse to be blue.

I wrote you a song, and you pawned my guitar

You took my love, and darlin’ then you took my car

I’ll pick my heart up off the ground, guess I’ll hitch-hike into town,

‘Cause tonight I refuse to be blue

Tonight I refuse to be blue

I refuse to walk this floor over you

I’ve thought the whole thing through, and darlin’ now I’m through with you

Yeah, tonight I refuse to be blue.

The preachers say there’ll come a day when all your bills are due

I’ll pour that price over ice, and I’ll hand that drink to you

Your angel face and sexy smile will surely drive the devil wild

Oh, tonight I refuse to be blue

Tonight I refuse to be blue

I refuse to walk this floor over you

I’ve thought the whole thing through, and darlin’ now I’m through with you

Yeah, tonight I refuse to be blue.

This ol’ cowboy’s heart may not be finished achin’

But at least I know it’s no longer yours for the breakin’

Though dancin’ and a song may not last for very long,

Tonight I refuse

I refuse to sing the blues

Tonight I refuse to be blue
