We ain't gonna be on Main Street And you won't find us in the co-op parkin' lot We're takin' the night off the concrete And takin' it out to a hilltop party spot Ain't gotta deal with a crowd or an open tab But you might have to open a gate Ain't gotta be in a big town to burn it down Yeah, you know what they say Where there's smoke there's fire Where there's fire there's boys Where there's boys there's beer And there's bound to be some green eyes Levi's Mama's got no idea she's out here and 'bout to see some Blue dream burnin' in the southern lights If you're tryna get to where we're at tonight Hang a left at the church, follow that dirt road And drive real slow and look for the smoke In the Fords and the Chevys and that one Mustang With the doors wide open bumpin' Marshall Tucker We're slippin' in the dark to the riverbank And one thing leads to another Where there's smoke there's fire Where there's fire there's boys Where there's boys there's beer And there's bound to be some green eyes Levi's Mama's got no idea she's out here and 'bout to see some Blue dream burnin' in the southern lights If you're tryna get to where we're at tonight Hang a left at the church, follow that dirt road And drive real slow and look for the smoke Cold cans and a Zippo lighter Slidin' over right beside her It's gonna be a here all-nighter, here all-nighter Where there's smoke there's fire Where there's fire there's boys Where there's boys there's beer And there's bound to be some green eyes Levi's Mama's got no idea she's out here and 'bout to see some Blue dream burnin' in the southern lights If you're tryna get to where we're at tonight Hang a left at the church, follow that dirt road And drive real slow and look for the smoke (Cold cans and a Zippo lighter) look for the smoke (Slidin' over right beside her) right beside her (It's gonna be a here all-nighter) (Here all-nighter)
