There was a cloud of dust down lonesome road one full moon Friday night
|
The county sheriff and old man Jones had a feeling that it wasn't right
|
So they followed a beer can trail and it took them to the river bank
|
There was girls and guys and four wheel drives and 500 watts of Hank
|
Well that sheriff was packin' a .44 and he shot it up into the air
|
He said you on private property people better move it on out of here
|
Then a blue-eyed cutie with a wiggly walk come sliding up next to him
|
She said, "There ain't no way you are gettin' us out so you might as well come on in."
|
|
She said, "It's Friday night in Dixie, it's time to have some fun
|
Anything goes till the rooster crows and we see that southern sun
|
We're gonna party down to that country sound, you know what I'm talkin' about
|
'Cause it's Friday night in Dixie can't hold it in let it all hang out."
|
|
Well the sheriff searched all the pickup trucks to see what he could find
|
Some shotgun shells an old buck knife and a mason jar of shine
|
Then Billy jumped up in the back of his truck and said, "Sheriff I do confess
|
I stole that jar from old man Jones 'cause i heard that he made the best."
|
Then the sheriff put down his pistol looked over at old man Jones
|
"Said it's up to you what you want to do lock them up or leave 'em alone."
|
Well that old man said, "I sure have done my share of raisin' hell
|
And I ain't to old to raise it with y'all and he let out a rebel yell
|
|
He said, "It's Friday night in Dixie, it's time to have some fun
|
Anything goes till the rooster crows and we see that southern sun
|
We're gonna party down to that country sound, you know what I'm talkin' about
|
Well it's Friday night in Dixie can't hold it in, Lord, let it all hang out."
|
|
You know it's Friday night in Dixe and we're gonna have some fun
|
'Cause anything goes till the rooster crows and we feel that southern sun
|
We're gonna party down to that country sound, you know what I'm talkin about
|
It's Friday night in Dixie dont hold it in, come on let it all hang out
|
Yeah let it all hang out
|
All night long
