I’m leavin’ town this morning
Back on a midnight ride
No destination weary
Caught in the same old stride
And oh my lord I’ll see you
Ruined by the way
Only to remember
The sideways sins of yesterday

Summertime in Denver
Gonna see some friends of mine
I may hide there ‘til September
Fore the leaves begin to die
It don’t even matter
The poets seldom heard
I’m gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world

Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey

Touching down in Memphis
Gonna find some blue suede shoes
And even though it may seem senseless
It’s all that I can do
It don’t even matter
The preachers seldom heard
I’m gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world

Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey

And it’s my last trip through Detroit
Gonna drown away this pain
I got no one left to live for
And no one left to blame
It don’t even matter
I don’t want the last word
I’m gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world
I’m gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world

Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey

It don’t even matter
I don’t want the last word
I’m gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world
I’m gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world
I’m gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world

I like moonshine whiskey
I like home made wine
I don’t look for greener grass
Home grown suits me just fine
Welcome to my shanty
Drop by anytime
I bet you’ll like my Redneck Paradise

Redneck Paradise
It’s a hole in the wall kinda small but the people are real nice
And folks in here they’s free and clear
To drink beer and dance all night, that’s right
And no one’s uptight in Redneck Paradise

Now I might get a little tipsy
I might be past my prime
But pour some Jim Beam whiskey
And I’ll show you a real big time
You don’t need reservations
Drop by anytime
The sun is shinin’ in Redneck Paradise

And the things we like don’t cost a lot of money
Good foot stompin’ music gets us by
Measure up our wealth in friends and family
We’re gonna hit them honky tonks tonight

Down in Redneck Paradise
It’s a hole in the wall kinda small just look for the red light
And have no fear you’re free and clear to get wild and rock all night
We don’t bite
Cuz we get down right in Redneck Paradise

Down in Redneck Paradise
It’s a hole in the wall kinda small but the people are real, real nice
And when you’re here you’re free and clear to do what most ever you like, all night
So rock on through to Redneck Paradise

Down in Redneck Paradise
It’s a hole in the wall kinda small but the people are real nice
And when you’re here you’re free and clear to drink beer and dance all night, that’s right
Cuz no one’s uptight in Redneck Paradise
So rock on through to Redneck Paradise

I been known to fight the good fight
I been known to walk alone
I been known to stay out all night
Drinkin’ wine and gettin’ stoned

I feel like you’re not ever gonna let me love you
I feel like I’m gonna be left here on my own
I feel like I’m not ever gonna rise above you
I feel like we will always walk alone

I was born into the good life
I have owned a wretched soul
I was thrown into the dark night
Where I roamed with no control

I feel like you’re not ever gonna let me love you
I feel like I’m gonna have to face this on my own
I feel like I’m not ever gonna rise above you
I feel like we will always walk alone

I feel like you’re not ever gonna let me love you
I feel like I’m gonna be left here on my own
I feel like I’m not ever gonna rise above you
I feel like we will always walk alone
