Dixie Fried
Dixie Fried Revelry: A Tale of Midnight Courage
Lyrics
On the outskirts of town, there's a little night spot
There's a small nightclub located outside the main part of town.
Dan dropped in around five o'clock
Dan arrived at around five in the evening.
Took off his coat, said "The night is short"
He took off his coat and mentioned that the night wouldn't last long.
He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quarter
He pulled out a quarter from his pocket.
He hollered, "Rave on, children I'm with ya,
Dan encouraged everyone enthusiastically.
Rave on cats," he cried
He urged the audience to keep enjoying themselves.
"It's almost dawn, the cops is gone
The early morning was nearing, and the police had left.
Let's all get Dixie fried"
He suggested they all have a wild and enjoyable time.
Well, Dan got happy and he started raving
Dan became joyful and started expressing himself excitedly.
He jerked out a razor but he wasn't shaving
He pulled out a razor but didn't use it for shaving purposes.
And all the cats knew to jump and hop
Everyone around knew to move quickly.
'Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop
Dan grew up in a tough environment, akin to a butcher shop.
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya
He continued to encourage everyone with enthusiasm.
Rave on, cats," he cried
He persistently urged everyone to keep having fun.
"It's almost dawn, the cops is gone
The early morning hours were approaching, and the police were absent.
Let's all get Dixie fried, fried, fried, yeah"
He reiterated the suggestion for everyone to indulge and have a great time.
The cops heard Dan when he started to shout
The police heard Dan making noise and rushed to the scene.
They all ran in to see what it was about
They entered to investigate the commotion.
And I heard him holler as they led him away
As they took Dan away, he shouted something.
He turned his head and this is what he had to say
Before leaving, he turned and said something.
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya
He continued to encourage everyone fervently.
Rave on, cats," he cried
His persistent call for everyone to enjoy themselves.
"It's almost dawn, the cops is gone
The early morning was near, and the police were not present.
Let's all get Dixie fried, fried, fried?
He again suggested they all have a great time.
Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw
Dan showed bravery and defiance against authority.
And he let us all know he wasn't scared of the law
He made it clear he wasn't afraid of the law.
Through the black crossed bars he tossed a note to his dear
He managed to pass a note to his loved one from behind bars.
"It ain't my fault, sugar, I'm in here"
The note explained that his situation wasn't his fault.
For hollering, "Rave on, children, I'm with you
Even from confinement, he continued to support and encourage everyone.
Rave on, cats," he cried
He persisted in urging everyone to have a good time despite his predicament.
"It's almost dawn, the cops ain't gone
Despite the approaching morning and the police presence, he still wished for everyone to enjoy themselves.
And I've been Dixie fried"
He expressed that he had been overwhelmed or affected by the situation.
