[Intro – 8s]
(Banjo + fiddle riff, kick drum builds → electric guitar crunch)
Cruisin’ down them back roads in my busted Chevy, radio loud as hell (yeah)
Sunset’s bleedin’ red, last night of summer — one more night to raise some hell (uh-huh)
[Verse 1 – 20s]
Hooked a bass in the quarry, headlights cuttin’ haze (cut deep)
Moonshine on my tongue, we been fucked up for days (too gone)
Cheap cigars and pistols, scars written in our skin (scarred up)
Raise hell in this town — that’s where the fire begins (burn it down)
[Pre-Chorus – 15s | Outlaw Version]
Whiskey in the console, shotgun on the floor (shotgun)
Trouble ridin’ with us, beggin’ for some more (more, more)
Fast lane sinners, never learnin’ from the pain (no way)
Raise a little hell, let it pour like rain (pour it out)
[Chorus – 25s]
Yeah, this summer’s burnin’ hotter than a shot of Jack (burnin’ up)
Runnin’ through the pines, and we ain’t never lookin’ back (no lookin’ back)
Drinkin’, fightin’, fuckin’ up tomorrow (tomorrow)
Small-town nights, crank it loud, drown the sorrow (whoa-oh)
Hands up, raise hell, let the banjo scream (let it scream)
Bluegrass thunder with a rock ’n’ roll dream (dream on)
[Instrumental Break – 15s]
(Banjo lick answered by fiddle run → guitar bends → crash into verse 2)
[Verse 2 – 20s]
Bar lights flicker, bottles break across the floor (smash it)
Blood on my knuckles, I’m beggin’ for one more (one more fight)
Moonlit skinny dip, whiskey drippin’ off her chin (hell yeah)
Chasin’ every high ‘til the devil drags us in (drag us down)
[Pre-Chorus – 15s | Outlaw Version]
Whiskey in the console, shotgun on the floor (shotgun)
Trouble ridin’ with us, beggin’ for some more (more, more)
Fast lane sinners, never learnin’ from the pain (no way)
Raise a little hell, let it pour like rain (pour it out)
[Chorus – 25s]
Yeah, this summer’s burnin’ hotter than a shot of Jack (burnin’ up)
Runnin’ through the pines, and we ain’t never lookin’ back (no lookin’ back)
Drinkin’, fightin’, fuckin’ up tomorrow (tomorrow)
Small-town nights, crank it loud, drown the sorrow (whoa-oh)
Hands up, raise hell, let the banjo scream (let it ride)
Bluegrass thunder with a rock ’n’ roll dream (dream on)
[Bridge / Breakdown – 20s | Studio Version]
Whiskey spillin’, blue lights creepin’ slow (fuck the law)
Middle finger high, we ain’t never layin’ low (never)
Loaded hearts and sins we’ll never outrun (no way)
Raise hell louder — this ride’s never done (never done)
[Final Chorus (Double-Out) – 40s]
Yeah, this summer’s burnin’ hotter than a shot of Jack (burnin’ up)
Runnin’ through the pines, and we ain’t never lookin’ back (no lookin’ back)
Drinkin’, fightin’, fuckin’ up tomorrow (tomorrow)
Small-town nights, crank it loud, drown the sorrow (whoa-oh)
One more round, one more scream, let the banjo ride (ride out)
Bluegrass thunder with a rock ’n’ roll stride (roll on)
Hands up high, hell yeah, sing it proud (hell yeah)
Small-town summer — we ain’t never calm down (never calm down)
