| I pulled up to a cattle guard
|
| got out, opened up the gate
|
| i drove down a long dirt road
|
| to the banks of an old two- acre lake
|
| they had bonfires and barbwire
|
| fresh-caught catfish in the deep fryer
|
| i jumped out my truck and said, it’s on and everybody sang
|
| hey ya’ll, break out the beer, turn the skynyrd on hey ya’ll, how ya doin'?
|
| whatcha doin'?
|
| hey ya’ll, we ain’t leavin''til they call the law
|
| hey ya’ll, hey ya’ll, come on a cloud of dust came rollin’in
|
| blue lights flashin', there were ten of them
|
| sheriff harper and all his boys
|
| said all they had to do was just follow the noise
|
| he dropped his gun, and then his star
|
| reached in his cruiser, pulled out his guitar
|
| said officer, what have we done wrong?
|
| he just smiled at me a said, nothin at all, singin'
|
| hey ya’ll break out the beer, turn the skynyrd on hey ya’ll whatcha doin? |
| how ya’doin?
|
| hey ya’ll crank it up, we ain’t never goin’home
|

| hey ya’ll watch this
|
