Brooks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your gonna get left if you don't get right child
So forget your troubles and forget the news
We're gonna pull the plug and black out them blues
And if your tie's to tight then adjust the noose
'Cause if your gonna hang tight cut loose
Tearin' it up
And we're burin' it down
'Till the sun come back around
'Cause we all came here to party
We came to come unwound
So go tell everybody that the boys are back in town
Just to tear it up
And to burn it down
We love to hear you stomp and sing
Just swamp a little southeast western swing thing
So just grab unto each other and let go
Make a little midnight moonlight mojo
When the magic happens let it all hang out
If you want to join the fun shout
Tearin' it up
And we're burin' it down
Hey daddy's hide your daughters
'Till the sun come back around
'Cause we all came here to party
We came to come unwound
So go tell everybody that the boys are back in town
Just to tear it up
And to burn it down
Tearin' it up
And we're burin' it down
Hey daddy's hide your daughters
'Till that sun come back around
'Cause we all came here to party
We came to come unwound
So go tell everybody that the boys are back in town
Just to tear it up
And to burn it down
We know you like to party
We know you like to throw it down
So go tell everybody
Let's get them all around
We're gonna tear it up
And burn it down
