"Turn It On, Turn It Up, Turn Me Loose"

Well, I’m back again for another night
Of trying to break free from the sadness that I can’t lay to rest
This old honky-tonk sure does feel like home
And the music and the laughter seem to soothe my loneliness

Chorus—
Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
From the memory that’s driving me lonely, crazy, and blue
It helps me forget her so the louder the better
Hey, mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose

Now if a tear should fall if I should whisper her name
To some stranger I’m holdin’ while we’re dancing to an old Buck Owens song
I know she won’t mind she won’t even know
‘Cause she’ll be dancing with a memory crying teardrops of her own

Chorus twice

Hey, mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
