All Night Long
Montgomery Gentry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About a quarter-to-three
Just a few close friends,
Charlie, Troy, and me
We just got started when somebody asked
How long you think this party's gonna last?
I said all night long (all night long)
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin'
Gonna boogie-woogie all night long
Well the next door neighbors
Started raising a fuss
Said you had a party
And you didn't call us
I said put on your dancing shoes and come along
We'll be here till the cows come home
And that's all night long (all night long)
I said all night long (all night long)
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin'
Gonna boogie-woogie all night long
(Guitar)
We'll be jumping through the windows
And sneaking down the halls
Dancing on the ceiling,
Dancing on the wall
The last thing I remember
'fore the lights went out
I jumped up on the table and I started to shout
I said all night long (all night long)
I said all night long (all night long)
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin'
Gonna boogie-woogie all night long
(I mean all night long)
I said all night long (all night long)
I said all night long (all night long)
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin'
Gonna boogie-woogie all night long
The lyrics of Montgomery Gentry's "All Night Long" describe an intense party that lasts until morning. The singer describes the events of the party, starting with a few close friends, but eventually expanding to include neighbors as well. The party is so intense that it causes problems with the neighbors, who eventually join in on the festivities. The lyrics suggest that the party will last "all night long" and that the participants will "be rockin' and rollin', gonna boogie-woogie" until dawn.
The lyrics of "All Night Long" can be interpreted in a few different ways. At the most basic level, the song is simply about a party that lasts all night long. However, the lyrics can also be seen as a celebration of living life to the fullest and enjoying every moment. The singer seems to revel in the chaos of the party and encourages everyone to join in and let loose.
It's interesting to note that Montgomery Gentry released "All Night Long" as a single in 2008, four years after the release of their album "You Do Your Thing," which features the song. The single version of the song also features a slightly different mix than the album version.

Well the party started early,
The celebration began soon,
About a quarter-to-three
At around fifteen minutes before three o'clock
Just a few close friends,
Only some intimate companions
Charlie, Troy, and me
Charlie, Troy, and myself
We just got started when somebody asked
Right after we commenced, someone inquired
How long you think this party's gonna last?
What is your estimate for the duration of this party?
I said all night long (all night long)
I responded that it will last all night
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin'
We will dance and move energetically
Gonna boogie-woogie all night long
We will dance the boogie-woogie all night long
Well the next door neighbors
The adjacent residents
Started raising a fuss
Begun to complain loudly
Said you had a party
Claimed that we were hosting a celebration
And you didn't call us
But we did not invite them
I said put on your dancing shoes and come along
I suggested they put on their dance shoes and join us
We'll be here till the cows come home
We will stay here for a lengthy duration
We'll be jumping through the windows
We would hop out of the windows
And sneaking down the halls
And tiptoeing through the hallways
Dancing on the ceiling,
We'd even dance on the ceiling
Dancing on the wall
Dancing on the wall
The last thing I remember
My final memory from the night
'fore the lights went out
Before the lights turned off
I jumped up on the table and I started to shout
I leaped onto the table and began shouting
I said all night long (all night long)
I repeated that the festivity will last all night
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin'
We will be dancing energetically
Gonna boogie-woogie all night long
We will dance the boogie-woogie all night long
I said all night long (all night long)
I exclaimed once again that it will last all night
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin'
We will be dancing energetically
Gonna boogie-woogie all night long
We will dance the boogie-woogie all night long

Charlie's voice is so distinct. Nobody has his sound and very few can touch his musical talent!
Joshua Brooks
Charlie's gone home now.

I'm forever heartbroken over my favorite Country music singer, Troy Gentry I'll always miss you and regret all the concerts I didnt get to go to. I'm so grateful for Eddie Montgomery for being so strong and continuing with Montgomery Gentry and bringing us some many great music over the years. Thank you Eddie for not calling it quits when no one would blame you if you did. RIP Troy Gentry...
