There's a campfire burnin’ on the Mississippi River bank
My old pickup speakers are crankin’ out a lot of Hank
That's the sheriff's daughter dancin’ on my hood
With an empty bottle this can't be good

There's an unwritten law in this sleepy little town
There ain’t no drinkin’ on the river when the sun goes down
Think I see the blue lights comin’ through the woods
It’s the sheriff and his posse, this can't be good

Everybody is runnin’ like the end of the world is comin’
With a Buford T. kind of lawman closin’ in
She just keeps on rockin’, guess I better do some talkin’
She's too dumb to run, I’m too drunk to swim
This can't be good, this can't be good, this can't be good

Aww, stay tuned

This ol' haybarn's full of last year’s grass
I got a whole tin can full of campfire gas
There’s a little bitty flame on this piece of firewood
And when it all comes together it can't be good

Everybody is runnin’ like the end of the world was comin’
With a wildfire burnin’ like a freight train outta control
She just keeps on rockin’, babe, there ain’t no time for talkin’
Throw her over my shoulder, run with everything I can
Hold on, babe, looks like were jumpin’ in

Now you know, when we get to the other side
We’re going to have to take all these wet clothes off
And hang out awhile
You know, this could be good

Yeah!
