Hoedown In This Ghost Town
Population 2065
9:00 o’clock and the town shuts down the lights
Smack dab in the middle of the Bible belt
The folks ‘round here are too afraid to raise a little hell
But the tumbleweed’s been blowin’ around these parts too long
And I think it’s about time we got it on
What we need is a hoedown in this ghost town
Kick up your heels and let your hair down
It’s time to dust off those dancin’ shoes
Been years since we’ve seen any fun around here
Let’s turn this place into a wild frontier
Run into the streets and spread the news
Yeah, a hoedown in this ghost town’s overdue
A revolution should take ‘em by surprise
Yeah, this town ain’t shuttin’ down early tonight
Smack dab in the middle of County Square
When the sun goes down a little music’s gonna fill the air
Strike up the band in the middle of the street
And wake the whole damn town up from a dead cold sleep
There’s gonna be a hoedown in this ghost town
Kick up your heels and let your hair down
It’s time to dust off those dancin’ shoes
Been years since we’ve seen any fun around here
Let’s turn this place into a wild frontier
Run into the streets and spread the news
Yeah, a hoedown in this ghost town’s overdue
Half way through Sweet Home Alabam
People started gatherin’ around to see the band
Everyone was dancin’ but the sheriff was wavin’ cuffs
Until his foot stepping mama stepped up in his face
and said “Boy just lighten up”
What we need is a hoedown in this ghost town
Kick up your heels and let your hair down
It’s time to dust off those dancin’ shoes
Been years since we’ve seen any fun around here
Let’s turn this place into a wild frontier
And shake off those small town blues
Yeah, a hoedown in this ghost town’s overdue
