BILLY’S SHAVIN’ IN THE SHOWER GOIN’ DOWNTOWN IN AN HOUR
HE’S BOUNCIN’ BACK SINCE SUSIE SAID GOOD-BYE
HANNA’S HAD ENOUGH OF LONELY WITHOUT HER ONE AND ONLY
THERE’S A “GETTING’ OVER JIM LOOK” IN HER EYES
BILL’S GOT ON HIS “RUNNIN’ ‘ROUND BOOTS”
HANNA’S IN HER “STEPPIN’ OUT SHOES”
ALL IS FAIR IT’S A “TAKE NO PRISONER NIGHT”

CHORUS

ANYTHING GOES WHEN EVERYTHING’S GONE
THERE’S NO HOLDIN’ BACK ONCE A HEART LET’S GO OF HOLDIN’ ON
THEY’RE GONNA BUST OUT CUT LOOSE GET DOWN GET LOUD HONKYTONK TILL DAWN
ANYTHING GOES WHEN EVERYTHING’S GONE


VERSE

BILL SPOTS HER ON THE DANCE FLOOR SHE LOOKS GOOD HE WANTS TO SEE MORE
HE CUTS IN THINKIN’ “THIS COULD BE HIS LUCKY NIGHT”
HANNA’S WATCHIN’ HIM THE SAME WAY WANTS TO LEARN MORE THAN HIS FIRST NAME
AS THEY DANCE AROUND THEY HOLD EACH OTHER TIGHT
HER “OLD EX” FADED IN HER ARMS
HIS “OLD FLAME” WENT OUT IN HIS HEART
THEY SMILE AT EACH OTHER AND WHISPER “YOUR PLACE OR MINE”


CHORUS

ANYTHING GOES WHEN EVERYTHING’S GONE
THERE’S NO HOLDIN’ BACK ONCE A HEART LETS GO OF HOLDIN’ ON
THEY’RE GONNA BUST OUT CUT LOOSE GET DOWN GET LOUD HONKYTONK TILL DAWN
ANYTHING GOES WHEN EVERYTHING’S GONE
