There's a black sand beach somewhere in Hawaii
They say it's paradise and they know how to party
Got a Honolulu honey that's shakin' her hips
Bet it'd be a hell of a trip

There's a handful of hilltop spots in Denver
They take ya so high that you won't remember
Everything ya see on the 6 o'clock news
But tonight since I get to choose

I'd rather be here
Lookin' at the way she Sun dressed it up
Little dixie buzz up in a plastic cup
Country band playin' to a wasted crowd
I done found some friends in low places now
Why the hell would I ever go somewhere else
Feelin' fine on that bottom shelf
Sitting cool on a stool where the down home gather
On a Saturday night that's why
I'd rather be here

Oh, I'd rather be here

Just a side of the highway neon blinking
A cash only dive and they know what I'm drinking
Nothin' but a good time good lookin girl
Lookin' like she might rock my world

I'd rather be here
Lookin' at the way she Sun dressed it up
Little dixie buzz up in a plastic cup
Country band playin' to a wasted crowd
I done found some friends in low places now
Why the hell would I ever go somewhere else
Feelin' fine on that bottom shelf
I'm stayin' cool on a stool where the down home gather
On a Saturday night that's why
I'd rather be here

Oh, I'd rather be here
Yeah, I'd rather be here

Ah, yeah

I'd rather be here
Lookin' at the way she Sun dressed it up
Little dixie buzz up in a plastic cup
Country band playin' to a wasted crowd
I done found some friends in low places now
Why the hell would I ever go somewhere else
Feelin' fine on that bottom shelf
Sittin' cool on a stool where the down home gather
On a Saturday night that's why
I'd rather be here

Oh, I'd rather be here
Yeah, I'd rather be here

I'd rather be here
