[Intro] ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT — Y'ALL WON! We ain't got another one wrote — so we're gonna play the only thing every one of us knows, and y'all are gonna sing it or we ain't goin' home! MISTER BATISTE! — HIT IT! [Verse 1] If you drove out here on an empty tank If you spent the rent, if you robbed the bank If your mama's dead and your daddy's gone If your house went under and you carried on If you're standin' up and your back is bad If you're the only one left of everyone you had If you got nobody waitin' on you at all — Then you belong in this hall! [Chorus] Everybody get in! Everybody get in! Don't matter where you come from, don't matter where you been! We don't check for blood at the door! We don't ask you what you're for! Everybody get in! And we'll drown together! [Verse 2] If you play a little guitar and you play it wrong If you only know the one verse of the one song If you sung in the shower and you sung in the truck If you sung to your kid and you sung out of luck If you never sung a note in your life out loud You're gonna sing tonight 'cause you're standin' in this crowd There ain't a bad voice in the state of Louisiana — There's just voices ain't been used! [Chorus] Everybody get in! Everybody get in! Don't matter where you come from, don't matter where you been! We don't check for blood at the door! We don't ask you what you're for! Everybody get in! And we'll drown together! [Interlude] Terrebonne Parish! (EVERYBODY GET IN!) Lafourche! (EVERYBODY GET IN!) Anybody drove down from up north! (EVERYBODY GET IN!) Anybody lost somebody! (EVERYBODY GET IN!) Anybody still lookin'! (EVERYBODY GET IN!) Everybody in this room! (EVERYBODY GET IN!) [Breakdown] We don't check for blood at the door... We don't ask you what you're for... We don't check for blood at the door... Everybody get in... Nine years ago I was singin' to a field. Tonight I'm singin' to Thibodaux. Same song. Same voice. Just a whole lot more of y'all. ONE MORE TIME — [Chorus] EVERYBODY GET IN! EVERYBODY GET IN! DON'T MATTER WHERE YOU COME FROM, DON'T MATTER WHERE YOU BEEN! WE DON'T CHECK FOR BLOOD AT THE DOOR! WE DON'T ASK YOU WHAT YOU'RE FOR! EVERYBODY GET IN! AND WE'LL DROWN TOGETHER! EVERYBODY GET IN! EVERYBODY GET IN! EVERYBODY GET IN! AND WE'LL DROWN TOGETHER! [Outro] Y'all are the choir now. Every one of you. Goodnight!
