Welping Out Lyrics

Well the clock strikes ten and the yawns roll in

We've been laughin' and gabbin' since who knows when.

The sweet tea's gone the times passed slow

And I'm sittin' here thinkin' "Welp it's time to go."

I slap my knees and I lean back slow

The words come easy so I let 'em all know.

"Welp everyone it's time to hit the road"

This southern goodbye's the only way I know.

Slap my hands on my thighs stand up and say

"Y'all take care I'll see you another day."

Hey ya'll I'm welping out cause it's time to go.

A hug for mama a handshake for dad

A wave to the cousins pet the dog on the head.

The porch light's on the truck's warmed up

But I'll be back soon for another roundup.

No need for tears no long goodbyes

Just a grin and a slap and I'm off in the night.

"Welp everyone it's time to hit the road"

This southern goodbye's the only way I know.

Slap my hands on my thighs stand up and say

"Y'all take care I'll see you another day."

Hey ya'll I'm welping out cause it's time to go.

It's more than a habit it's just a southern trait

When the hour gets late we sure don't hesitate.

No awkward pauses no drawn-out scenes

Just a nod and a slap says all we mean.

"Welp everyone it's time to hit the road"

This southern goodbye's the only way I know.

Slap my hands on my thighs stand up and say

"Y'all take care I'll see you another day."

Hey ya'll I'm welping out cause it's time to go.

So next time you're gathered and it's getting late

And you're feeling the tug of the exit gate

Just slap your knees and don't draw it out

Give a big ol' smile and just welp on out!
