Black Hills Boogie
Reckless Revelry in the Hills: Luke Hendrickson's Black Hills Boogie Unveiled
Lyrics
Well it didn't take long to change their idea about a party in that little town in the hills
Initial resistance to a party in a small town changed quickly.
Me and the boys shoved through that barroom door and the heads turned without fail
The arrival of the speaker and friends attracted attention in the bar.
We drank 'em out of whiskey and danced with their women
They consumed all the whiskey and interacted with local women.
Them boys, they fought us tooth and nail
A conflict or struggle ensued with the local boys.
We got drunk Friday evening, spent the weekend in the county jail
They became intoxicated on Friday, leading to a weekend in jail.
Well there's some things you just don't mess with, man
Some things should not be interfered with, emphasized.
Like my guitar, my mom and my dog
The speaker values specific possessions and relationships.
And these damn good friends that i've had for years
The speaker has loyal, opinionated friends.
Will let you know when you are wrong
These friends will correct the speaker's mistakes.
So before you start jawing, boy you better know that some things are worse than hell
Warning about potential consequences if someone messes with the mentioned things.
These steel bars they ain't nothin that we ain't seen, and
Being confined in jail is familiar to them.
We always make our bail
Confidence in being able to secure bail.
We don't mind if you call us out, we're gonna prove everything we say
Openness to challenges to prove their claims.
Come on and join us anytime you want, boys, we'll do this every night and day
Invitation to others to join their lifestyle of constant revelry.
We're gonna drink ourselves ragged and listen to some Haggard
Plan to drink excessively and listen to Merle Haggard's music.
So boys don't you be surprised
Warning to expect their behavior.
When we drink up all your whiskey and steal away your women
They'll consume all the whiskey and may attract women away from others.
And our shameless eyes go pale
Expressing the shamelessness in pursuing desires.
Another drunk friday evening gets a weekend in the county jail
Repeating the cycle of getting drunk on Fridays and ending up in jail.
We'll get drunk some friday evening, try like hell to stay outta that ol' county jail
Expressing the intention to repeat the pattern despite efforts to avoid jail.
