This song takes takes place at The Gold Rush, The Blue Bar, and Tribe, all of which can be found in Nashville, Tennessee.

lyrics

It was when the drag queen slipped that the drugs kicked in
With a quick turn of the head I could feel the rush begin
And I helped her up and she gave her thanks
And I turned my attention back to you and your friends

Then the crush of the crowd and the monotonous beat
Became a little bit too much so we agreed to leave
And we made out in the car before finding the next place
Caught up with your friends, parked, and made out again

I was aimless - per the norm - with no reason and no rhyme
Stopping at a random bar just to kill some time
And when we saw each other we were pleasantly surprised
And I could tell what you had taken just by looking at your eyes

And you generously offered and I generously took
And your friends mentioned a drag show and we said that sounded good
So we paid our tabs and I offered you a ride
The aimlessless was gone - the reason found the rhyme

In the darkest corner of a club your friends picked on a whim
A billiard / dancehall combo where none of us had ever been
We were inseparably connected as soon as we got inside
Resuming our affections without bothering to hide

The hand on the erection, the hand going up the dress
Whether at the corner table or on the dance floor by your friends
Where we danced to some hip-hop, we danced to R&B
We danced through all the DJ's prattle that was said between

We were smart enough to know that the comedown would come soon
The house lights would be turned on and reality’d resume
The rhyme and the reason would go on their separate ways
A headache and some teeth-gnashing’d be all that would remain

But there was still time for one more dance, still time for another drink
Still time to act on impulses we’d usually restrict
Before dealing with the wreckage of the night that we just had
Knowing that going back to normal would be a major drag
