Lyrics
Verse 1
I showed up ten minutes late, boot heel caught the doorSpilled iced tea on my Sunday shirt, then spilled a little moreCalled her by my sister's name, watched my whole night dieShe just raised one perfect brow and said, “You gonna try?”
Pre‑Chorus
I found a clean napkin, found a joke that landed rightShe laughed into her lemonade, and mercy filled the night
Chorus
I almost blew the first date, but she gave me one more chanceNow she's got my number and I'm learning how to danceRaise a glass for second chances, let the jukebox playThe prettiest girl I've ever seen said, “Pick me up Friday”Hey! Pick me up Friday!
Verse 2
The waiter brought her steak, I ordered something braveA pepper popped my eyes so hard I nearly waved goodbye and wavedI talked about my truck too long, she talked about her dreamsBy the time we hit the county line, she knew the best of me
Pre‑Chorus
I told her I was nervous, she said, “That makes two”Then she stole my jacket when the evening turned cool
Chorus
I almost blew the first date, but she gave me one more chanceNow she's got my number and I'm learning how to danceRaise a glass for second chances, let the jukebox playThe prettiest girl I've ever seen said, “Pick me up Friday”Hey! Pick me up Friday!
Bridge
If I get there early, if I keep my coffee downIf I remember her name, I might just turn this aroundShe looked back from the doorway, smiled like summer rainI drove home grinning like a fool and memorized her name
Final Chorus
I almost blew the first date, but she gave me one more chanceNow she's got my number and I'm learning how to danceRaise a glass for second chances, let the whole room swayThe prettiest girl I've ever seen is riding with me FridayHey! Riding with me Friday!I almost blew the first date, but love don't always quitOne bad start, two good hearts, and a second date from it
Outro
Pick me up FridayYeah, I'll be there on time
