Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
You can see it from the river To the top of white pine ridge Burning like a summer sun A bunch of rednecks getting half lit There's mud-covered trucks and S-U-V's Cranking up hank and A-C/D-C At the bonfire, out in the sticks Country backwoods, homegrown hicks Bonfire, dance a little jig, Hold up your cup and take another swig Won't sleep til dawn, party right down to the wire At the bonfire Everybody sees the headlights When old Sheriff John pulled up We all got a little nervous It's too late to hide our cups He popped a top and holled real loud Don't worry y'all I came to hang out At the bonfire, out in the sticks Country backwoods, homegrown hicks Bonfire, dance a little jig, Hold up your cup and take another swig Won't sleep til dawn, party right down to the wire At the bonfire You don't have to be from around here To know right where to go All you gotta do is load up And head towards glow At the bonfire, out in the sticks Country backwoods, homegrown hicks Bonfire, dance a little jig, Hold up your cup and take another swig Won't sleep til dawn, party right down to the wire At the bonfire At the bonfire Were all hanging at the bonfire
