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
