"If you ain't here to party, you picked the wrong place. You picked the wrong Friday night. If you ain't here to party, you'll be mission out on the best damn time of your life. So go on and throw your card down, knock a shot out and get yourself in the zone. Yeah, you might as well go on and head your ass back home if you ain't here to party."-Luke Bryan
