Lyrics
Lay It Down
©Scott Miller/Lee Johnson
YOU'VE GOT 2 ACES ON THE TABLE
AND 2 MORE IN YOUR HAND
YOU KNOW HE MUST BE BLUFFIN'
THAT PILE OF CHIPS LOOKS LIKE TEN GRAND
IT'S TIME TO MAKE YOUR STAND
LAY IT DOWN, LIKE AN OL SLEDGE HAMMER
ON A SPIKE ON A RAILROAD TRACK
LAY IT DOWN, LIKE SOME DOWN HOME COUNTRY BLUES
IN A BACKWOODS MOONSHINE SHACK
GO ON, RAISE A FEW EYEBROWS, IN THIS TOWN
AND TURN THOSE WINNING CARDS AROUND
LAY IT DOWN
YOU'VE GOT A SOUPED UP V8 ENGINE
BUILT FOR POWER AND SPEED
YOU'VE GOT 1 LAP TO FINISH
THAT CHECKERED FLAG IS ALL YOU SEE
AND YOU'RE OUT IN THE LEAD
LAY IT DOWN, LIKE AN OL SLEDGE HAMMER
ON A SPIKE ON A RAILROAD TRACK
LAY IT DOWN, LIKE DOWN HOME COUNTRY BLUES
IN A BACKWOODS MOONSHINE SHACK
GO ON, RAISE A FEW EYEBROWS, IN THIS TOWN,
AND LEAVE SOME RUBBER ON THE GROUND
LAY IT DOWN
(BRIDGE)
ITS 2 AM, THE BANDS GOING STRONG
GUITAR MAN HAS GOT IT GOING ON
THAT GIRL IN THE FRONT OF THE CROWD... IS SCREAMIN OUTLOUD...
(BREAKDOWN AND VAMPS BACK TO CHORUS)
LAY IT DOWN LIKE SOME OLD LED ZEPPLIN
THRU A 4X12 MARSHALL STACK
LAY IT DOWN LIKE SOME DOWN HOME COUNTRY BLUES
IN YOUR BACKWOODS MOONSHINE SHACK
GON ON RAISE A FEW EYEBROWS, IN THIS TOWN,
ROCK THIS PARTY TO THE GROUND
(CHORUS VAMPS OUT)
