Lyrics

Verse 1

Payday’s gone and the truck still runs on prideGot a busted taillight and a devil on my sideBarmaid knows my order ‘fore I hit the doorIf heaven wants a saint, they better look next door

Pre‑Chorus

Hands upMake some noiseThis town can’t holdThese boys

Chorus

Whiskey in the gas tankYeehaw!Trouble in the trunkCome on!Call me what you wantThat’s me!We ain’t done till dawnLet it ride!

Verse 2

Sheriff knows my first name, mama knows the restI ain’t mean for trouble, I just fail the testGot a hole in my boot and a grin I can’t hideIf the law wants a quiet man, they caught me on the wrong night

Pre‑Chorus

Ain’t over yetNot tonightStomp that floorDo it right

Chorus

Whiskey in the gas tankYeehaw!Trouble in the trunkCome on!Call me what you wantThat’s me!We ain’t done till dawnLet it ride!

Bridge

If I go broke, I’ll go broke loudIf I get lost, I’ll get lost proudThis crowd’s the choir, this bar’s the churchPass that bottle, let’s make it worse

Final Chorus

Whiskey in the gas tankYeehaw!Sing it bigger nowCome on!Stack it to the roofThat’s me!We ain’t done till dawnLet it ride!Whiskey in the gas tankOh!Don’t you dare sit downGo!Tear the night in twoAll together!We ain’t done till dawnLet it ride!
