Raise Hell Tonight

Verse 1

Clock hits five and the whistle blows

Dust on boots and grease on clothes

Buddy says “man what you say we go

Find a place where the cold beer flows”

Sun’s going down and the sky burns red

Like the weekend calling ahead

We ain’t saints and we never claimed

But tonight we ain’t acting tame

Verse 2

Pickup trucks in a gravel line

Tailgates drop and the speakers whine

Somebody lights up a bonfire bright

Somebody’s already starting a fight

Girls in boots dancing in the dust

Laughing loud like they just don’t care

Radio blasting an outlaw song

And every soul singing along

Pre-Chorus

Tomorrow might come with bills and blame

But tonight we’re living without a chain

Chorus

We’re gonna raise hell tonight

Under these southern lights

Sing loud, live fast, let the world take flight

Yeah the worries can wait till morning light

From the backwoods road to the county line

We’re young and free and feeling alive

If the world wants calm it’ll have to wait

We’re gonna raise hell tonight

Verse 3

Sheriff lights blink down the road

Someone yelling “everybody go!”

Engines roar like thunder cracks

But we’re all just laughing at that

One more song before we leave

One more memory to believe

These are nights that legends make

Stories we’ll tell when we’re old and gray

Bridge

Life moves fast and youth don’t stay

So tonight we live like there’s no delay

Final Chorus

Yeah we’re gonna raise hell tonight

Under these southern lights

With friends and fire and freedom bright

We’re gonna raise hell tonight
