There was a cloud of dust down lonesome road one full moon Friday night
The county sheriff and old man Jones had a feeling that it wasn't right
So they followed a beer can trail and it took 'em to the river bank
There was girls and guys and four wheel drives and 500 watts of Hank

Well, that sheriff was packing a .44 and he shot it up in the air
He said, "You're on private property people better move it on out of here"
Then a blue-eyed cutie with a wiggly walk come sliding up next to him
She said, "There ain't no way you are getting us out so you might as well come on in"

She said, "It's Friday night in Dixie, time to have some fun
Anything goes 'til the rooster crows and we see that southern sun
We're gonna party down to that country sound, you know what I'm talking about
It's Friday night in Dixie, can't hold it in let it all hang out."

Well, the sheriff searched all the pickup trucks to see what he could find
Some shotgun shells an old buck knife and a mason jar of shine
Then Billy jumped up from the back of the truck, he said, "Sheriff I do confess
I stole that jar from old man Jones 'cause I heard that he made the best"

Then the sheriff put down his pistol looked over at old man Jones
He said, "It's up to you what you wanna do lock them up or leave 'em alone?"
Well, that old man said, "I sure have done my share of raising hell
And I ain't too old to raise it with y'all", then he let out a rebel yell

He said, "It's Friday night in Dixie, it's time to have some fun
Anything goes 'til the rooster crows and we see that southern sun
We're gonna party down to that country sound, you know what I'm talking about
Well, it's Friday night in Dixie, can't hold it in, Lord, let it all hang out."

You know it's Friday night in Dixe and we're gonna have some fun
'Cause anything goes 'til the rooster crows and we feel that southern sun
We're gonna party down to that country sound, you know what I'm talking about
It's Friday night in Dixie, can't hold it in, come on, let it all hang out
Yeah, let it all hang out
All night long
