We'll dance all night till the sun comes up

[Verse 1]

Sittin' in the bayou country,

just me and my fishin' line

I raised a lot of hell and I hollered,

sippin' on that Georgia moonshine

Well, I know how to have a damn good time

And I take my shots

straight out of the jug

and I like to get pure drunk

in that Mississippi mud

[Verse 2]

Well lets throw us a little party baby,

I'll call a few friends of mine

We'll dance all night till the sun comes up

and we'll drink our selves completely blind

Then we'll rock on down the line

And I take my shots

straight out of the jug

and I like to do a little dance

in that Mississippi mud

[Verse 3]

Well, I was raised by an awful alligator

he taught me how to walk the line

He used to deal cards from the bottom of the deck,

but a Tennessee woman took his life

But he sure gave me some damn good advice

And I take my shots

straight out of the jug

and I like to get pure drunk

in that Mississippi mud

Ending

And I take my shots

straight out of the jug

and I like to do a little dance

in that Mississippi mud
