Tonights the night to party Not just because I say Tonights the night to party Because it ' s the ending of the day Throw up your hands and yell yee haw Grab a drink and hit the floor Dancing without caring That's what this party's for The band is slightly out of tune But, hey who gives a **** They sound better later on When you are really lit By two a.m you'd think that they Were Alabama and George Jones While you're trying to record them on Your prissy little phones This place don't karaoke You're singing with the band You're singing country music It's the best in all the land No running shoes, just cowboy boots Will get you in the door If you come in with a cowboy hat Make sure it faces to the front All the dude's they wear them backwards And they look like a dumb c*** Tonights the night to party Not just because I say Tonights the night to party Because it ' s the ending of the day Throw up your hands and yell yee haw Grab a drink and hit the floor Dancing without caring That's what this party's for You can listen for the steel guitar It's there in every song Hey man, this here's a country bar And steel guitar , it just belongs There's always background fiddle Drums like Levon from The Band Piano played like Jerry Lee The floor's all blood and sand You've come on out to party Now show them how a redneck does Knock back a few and get up here And when you dance, you cuss The music here will rock you It's American through and through It's a good old country party It's all red white and blue

When white men spit hatred through spiteful lips, what will you do? Will you raise your fists? When a white man kills a black teen without blinking, will you turn from protests to riots without even thinking. You want to prove something? Prove that there is nothing a white man could do to break the black community. Show that you will never fight fire with fire. Keep MLK alive, let him live in your city. Beat hatred unconscious with love, and drown it in peaceful protest. For, Mike Brown's death was only a test.

Dear Ferguson,

When white men spit hatred through spiteful lips, what will you do? Will you raise your fists? When a white man kills a black teen without blinking, will you turn from protests to riots without even thinking. You want to prove something? Prove that there is nothing a white man could do to break the black community. Show that you will never fight fire with fire. Keep MLK alive, let him live in your city. Beat hatred unconscious with love, and drown it in peaceful protest. For, Mike Brown's death was only a test.
