I quit my job on a friday afternoon
I's Feelin low down and mean as a dog
I called up them boys down detroit city
I said hell we're gonna make it nashville after all
I rolled that deisel through a windy rainy night
down through hollers and up through the falls
when that mornin sun shined on that tennessee state line
I said boys we gonna have ourselves a ball
Well its been a long time
since I had a good time
And tonight I'm gonna drink from the well
so order up another round boy im gonna put'em down
I got a late start but tonight I'm raisin hell
I rolled up to this honky tonk on broadway
and the band played as I strolled through the door
I sat down in my seat shouted play some jerry reed
they played amos moses and I damn near fell on the floor
well they played waylon, hank, johnny, merle and george jones
me and the boys drank and sang off key
and that guitar pickin man walked over with a little grin
said what brings you boys down here to Tennessee
Well its been a long time
since I had a good time
And tonight I'm gonna drink from the well
so order up another round boy im gonna put'em down
I got a late start but tonight I'm raisin hell
