Karaoke Night – Chapter 1

The nightshift team was in the locker room getting ready to go home for the night.

"Hey, we should go for drinks," said Nick.

"We haven't don't that in a long time," said Warrick. "I'm in. What about you guys?"

"I'm in," said Catherine and Sara.

Everyone turned to Grissom. "Fine, I'll go."

They all silently cheered.

They went to their usual bar and that night was karaoke night.

"Whoa… Karaoke," said Nick as they walked in.

They all went to a booth, Catherine and Warrick on one side and Nick and Sara on the other. Grissom pulled up a chair. They got their beers and everyone of them guzzled down just about half of it right away.

After a couple beers Nick decided to do karaoke.

He got up on stage and started singing "Ladies Love Country Boys" by Trace Adkins.

This for all you sophisticated ladies out there
She grew up in the city in a little subdivision
Her daddy wore a tie, mama never fried a chicken
Ballet, straight-As, most likely to succeed
They bought her a car after graduation
Sent her down South for some higher education
Put her on the fast track to a law degree

Now she's coming home to visit
Holding the hand of a wild-eyed boy
With a farmers tan

Nick walked off the stage and got Sara and Catherine to dance with him.

She's riding in the middle of his pickup truck
Blaring Charlie Daniels, yelling, Turn it up!
They raised her up a lady but there's one thing
They couldn't avoid
Ladies love country boys
You know it's true

You know mamas and daddies want better for their daughters
Hope they'll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer
And their uptown, ball gown, hand-me-down royalty
They never understand why their princess falls
For some camouflage britches and a southern-boy-drawl

Or why she's riding in the middle of a pickup truck
Blaring Hank Jr., yelling, Turn it up!
They raised her up a lady but there's one thing
They couldn't avoid
Ladies love country boys
Awww, get country with it now

You can train 'em, you can try to teach 'em
Right from wrong but its still gonna turn 'em on

When they go riding in the middle of a pickup truck
Blaring Lynyrd Skynyrd, yelling, (Turn it up!) Sara and Catherine screamed.
You can raise her up a lady but there's one thing
You just cant avoid
Ladies love country boys
They love us country boys, yeah
They can't stand it
It's that country thing, you know

(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) Sang Sara and Catherine.

Everyone cheered as the song ended.
