[Verse 1]
I quit my job on a Friday afternoon
I was feelin low down and mean as a dog
I called up them boys down in Detroit city
I said hell we're gonna make it to Nashville after all
I rolled that diesel through a windy rainy night
Down through the 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

[Chorus]
Well it's been a long time
Since I had a good time
And tonight I think
I'm gonna take a few dips from the well
Well, well
So order up another round boys
I'm gonna put'em down
I got a late start but tonight I'm raisin hell

[Verse 2]
I rolled up to this honky tonk on Broadway
And the band played as I strolled through the door
I sat down on 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 Geoge 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

[Chorus]
Well it's been a long time
Since I had a good time
And tonight I think
I'm gonna take a few dips from the well
Well, well
So order up another round boys
I'm gonna put'em down
I got a late start but tonight I'm raisin hell

Order up another round boys
I'm gonna put'em down
I got a late start but tonight I'm raisin hell

Order up another round son
I'm gonna put'em down
I got a late start but tonight I'm raisin hell
Yeah I got a late start but tonight I'm raisin hell
