Hell Raisin
Florida Georgia Line Lyrics

Well daisy duke peek-a-boo
We were young and wild, embracing our youthfulness and energy. We wore Daisy Dukes which were short shorts that leave little to the imagination but were fashionable back then.

I might've learned a thing or two
We were out there experiencing everything that life had to offer and learning as we went. We were not just following other people's paths but creating our own.

On a Friday night joyride
We would take drives on Friday nights, often with no particular destination in mind, just enjoying the thrill of the ride and each other's company.

Out there on the county line
We weren't afraid to venture beyond the safe zones of our hometown and explore the country roads and the excitement that lied beyond.

Drag racin' 'til the blue lights chase us
We would race each other, challenge others and push ourselves to the limit, and risk getting caught by the cops while testing our limits.

And we scattered like sparks from A black cat fuse
We were always on the move and when caught, we would scatter fast, like fireworks when lit, all in different directions. We would disappear without a trace as easily as a fuse is lit and the black cat explodes.

Train bridge where we spray paint Skynyrd
We were free spirits who loved to express ourselves artistically. We would often paint graffiti on train bridges and anything that we could find, even making a tribute to a band we loved like Lynyrd Skynyrd.

And the gold flakes glimmered in the Cinnamon booze
The gold flakes added to our drinks which sparkled in the lights gave us more excitement, like life's experiences, while the aroma or the flavor was like cinnamon i.e, fiery and bold. We lived life with passion and intensity.

Alabama on the Alpine
We would listen to country music, especially from Alabama since it spoke so much to our experiences and lifestyles, on our Alpine car audio systems which were popular and top of the line back then.

Bust a cap on a deer sign
Often, we would drive too fast and too wildly, so we would occasionally hit some signs or scare some animals off the road, even though nothing was particularly trying to stop us.

Little backseat butterfly
We liked to have some fun in the backseat of a car, enjoying the pleasures of the moment without any particular attachments, just like the free-spirited butterfly which flutters by, without a care in the world.

Home grown angel that'll get you high
We would often fall for people who belonged locally, who were down-to-earth but had a spark or charisma that added to their charm, which was ultimately intoxicating like drugs.

Yeah I see it clearer in the rearview mirror
Now looking back at life, we can see the things we were doing back then much more clearly, especially the fun and the risks we took without caring for consequences because we were so young and carefree.

Than I ever did lookin' out over the hood
Back then, all we could see was the horizon and the excitement that lied over the horizon. We didn't care too much about the challenges and adversities that were ahead, yet now that we look at them from the rear-view perspective, we can recognize how significant every little moment and experience was in shaping us into who we are now.

Yeah man, we had some damn good times
Our memories of those fearless and thrilling years are loaded with excitement and fun. Those were the moments which we will forever cherish and look back upon, the moments in the hell raisin' heat of the summer.

And I sure hope everybody's doin' good
Now, as we reminisce about the exciting moments that we lived, we also hope that everyone we used to party with and engage in these risky behaviors is doing well now despite the risks that we took.

We were livin' every minute of the night Like there might never be another
We were so immersed in the moment and the idea of living life to the fullest that we weren't bothered by previous experiences or future consequences; we just enjoyed every moment and every event like it was the last one we would experience.

We were runnin' all the caution lights
We were weaving through all the different caution signs and lights, which should have been indicating us to slow down or be careful, but we did the opposite. We took it as a challenge and added to the thrill factor of our experiences.

We were learnin' to fly with a little tail gunner
We were learning about all of the different aspects of life, trying to figure out the rules and means of our experiences like a little tail gunner who is always gazing up into the sky in pursuit of better things.

If there was somethin' to burn, we were burnin' it
We had a wild sense of adventure and were always looking for the next risky thrill to experience. If there was something that could be burned, we would burn it—leaving nothing behind for later.

Anything with a curve, we were turnin' it
We loved life and were always looking to try something new, something that would give us a rush of adrenaline. Anything that was curved or turned was an irresistible challenge that we had to explore to the fullest extent.

Just wildfires out there under The hell raisin' heat of the summer
We were taunting danger and taking on exhilarating risks during the hot summer months - the kind of danger that could easily spiral and grow uncontrollably, just like how wildfires spread and grow. It was exhilarating and exciting to be out there in the middle of those experiences, challenging ourselves and everything around us.

The hell raisin' heat of the summer
We are talking about the heat of the summer, the time of the year when everything is usually hot, dry, and risky, but instead of being cautious, we decided to risk everything and turn up the heat by raising a little hell ourselves.
