We rode in town at the fall of the night Pockets were empty but our mood was right Saloon doors swing and the piano played Bartender sighed like he’d seen this day Boots on the floor, spurs ringin’ loud Whiskey got passed to a thirsty crowd One turned to two, then three, then more Next thing you know we were ownin’ the floor Laughin’ too hard, talkin’ too fast A night like this ain’t built to last Raise ‘em up, boys, let the whiskey flow We ain’t here for peace, we’re here for the show Tables break and the bottles fly Ain’t no law gonna stop us tonight Sing it loud, let the whole town hear We don’t feel pain when we’re full of beer By the time that the sun comes around Ain’t gonna be much left of this town Billy knocked out a man twice his size Jake lit a cigar with a warning shot’s fire Tom flipped a table just for the fun While I played cards with a loaded gun Sheriff walked in, tried to keep it calm But someone spilled whiskey down his arm Next thing you know it all went south Chair went flyin’ right through his mouth Music got wild, fiddle screamed This ain’t no place for a sober dream Raise ‘em up, boys, let the whiskey flow We ain’t here for peace, we’re here for the show Tables break and the bottles fly Ain’t no law gonna stop us tonight Sing it loud, let the whole town hear We don’t feel pain when we’re full of beer By the time that the sun comes around Ain’t gonna be much left of this town Glass on the floor and blood on the wood Can’t say we’re bad, just misunderstood Laughin’ through bruises, teeth stained red Dancin’ with trouble like it’s been wed Hey! Hey! Another round! Burn it up, tear it down! Raise ‘em up, boys, this might be our last Livin’ too hard and we’re livin’ too fast If we go down, we go with a grin Cause chaos like this is better than sin Sing it loud till our voices drown We’re the wildest souls in a dying town When the dust finally settles down They’ll remember the night we burned it down
