[Intro — acoustic guitar, fiddle pickup] [Checkered Flag — spoken, excited] WELL ALRIGHTY THEN! Y'all ready to have a little fun? Come on, grab yourself a partner! We're gonna move some freight! [Band kicks in] [Verse 1] Got my hat pulled low and my denim on Been waiting all week for this Friday song Concrete floor but I don't mind There's a whole lotta dancing gonna happen tonight Got a little country, got a little steel Got a whole lotta rhythm underneath these wheels Ain't gotta go nowhere, ain't gotta roam We're gonna turn this warehouse into home [Checkered Flag — spoken] Now everybody grab a pallet— Well... pretend it's a pallet! [Chorus] Move that load, swing it around Shuffle that freight across the ground Stack it high, then break that stack Give your partner a little spin and bring 'em back Left side, right side, everybody roll We're having ourselves a freight-control hoedown Move that load, don't lose your place Everybody's smiling all over this place! [Verse 2] Got operators lined up in a row Everybody's waiting for the signal to go One little shuffle, two little turns Watch that load while the dance floor burns If you got a partner, hold 'em tight If you ain't got one, grab one tonight We're gonna send this whole thing down the line And bring it right back on the count of nine [Checkered Flag — spoken] Alright now! Pallet to the left! Pallet to the right! DOUBLE STACK! [Band hit] [Checkered Flag] BREAK THE STACK! [Band hit] [Checkered Flag — laughing] Oh, we're getting good now! [Chorus] Move that load, swing it around Shuffle that freight across the ground Stack it high, then break that stack Give your partner a little spin and bring 'em back Left side, right side, everybody roll We're having ourselves a freight-control hoedown Move that load, don't lose your place Everybody's smiling all over this place! [Instrumental Dance Break — fiddle and electric guitar] [Checkered Flag — spoken] Now listen here, y'all! We're gonna try something fancy! [Band quiets] [Checkered Flag] Step forward! Back it up! Turn that load! Switch operators! [Band responds] [Checkered Flag] And send it down the line! [Band surges] [Bridge] Well I might not have a tractor And I might not have a field But give me four good wheels And a dance floor made of steel Put a cowboy hat on my head And some denim on my back I'll find a way to move that rhythm Like I'm moving one more stack [Checkered Flag — excited] Y'ALL AIN'T DONE YET! [Final Dance Break] [Checkered Flag — increasingly excited] PALLET TO THE LEFT! PALLET TO THE RIGHT! DOUBLE STACK! BREAK THE STACK! SWING THAT LOAD! TURN IT AROUND! SEND IT DOWN THE LINE! [Band accelerates] [Checkered Flag] ONE MORE TIME! [Band repeats] [Checkered Flag — laughing] FASTER! [Band accelerates] [Checkered Flag] OH BOY, NOW WE'RE MOVIN'! [Band reaches peak] [Checkered Flag] PARK IT! [Band stops] [Brief silence] [Checkered Flag — breathless, delighted] Well I'll be... That was a good one. [Two-Step Caution — spoken, calm] Checkered... I think you've had enough. [Checkered Flag] Aw, come on! [Two-Step Caution] We're slowing it down. [Checkered Flag] ...Awright. [Soft acoustic guitar begins] [Transition into Song 5]
