Lyrics
Intro
Spoken"I see you sitting there with your fancy clothes and your high-dollar lines. But honey, I'm an independent storm, and you're just a little bit of rain. Bartender, pour a real drink. Let's roll."IntroVerse 1I walked into the local saloon at midnight sharpDrowning out the shadows of a heavy-hearted harpA smooth-talking city boy tried to buy a round of ginHe thought he had a premium chance just to winBut I looked him in the eye and I laid my badge down'Cause a heavy-hitting woman's running this frontier townChorusHeavy-grooving swampy crowd shoutPour the shot! (Crowd: Pour it!)Slam on the wood! (Crowd: Slam!)Choosin' the independent! (Crowd: Hell yeah!)Neon lights! (Crowd: Shine!)Don't mess with fire! (Crowd: Hell no!)Until the night is done! (Crowd: Yee-haw!)Verse 2You can talk your small talk, talk your sweet-talking liesBut you can't hide the dust sitting deep in your eyesI need a man who can ride through a literal hurricaneNot a slick-talking phantom who's terrified of rainSo go on back to your city, go on hide behind your text'Cause you're dealing with an outlaw who is heading out nextChorusHeavy-grooving swampy crowd shoutPour the shot! (Crowd: Pour it!)Slam on the wood! (Crowd: Slam!)Choosin' the independent! (Crowd: Hell yeah!)Neon lights! (Crowd: Shine!)Don't mess with fire! (Crowd: Hell no!)Until the night is done! (Crowd: Yee-haw!)BridgeMusic drops low - Just a thumping bass drum and heavy table-slappingA little bit of sugar, a whole lot of heavy smokeThis southern-fried renegade ain't no damn jokeCrowd building to a complete, absolute frenzy: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!Final ChorusThe entire band explodes into a massive swamp-rock wall of soundPour the shot! (Crowd: Pour it!)Slam on the wood! (Crowd: Slam!)Choosin' the independent! (Crowd: Hell yeah!)Neon lights! (Crowd: Shine!)Don't mess with fire! (Crowd: Hell no!)Until the night is done! (Crowd: Yee-haw!)TagThe electric guitars and fiddle stay high and wildYeah, neon and nightfallsCrowd shouts: Burning up the room!Choosin' the independentCrowd shouts: Leaving you behind!
