Lyrics for Play It All Night Long

Grandpa pissed his pants again He don't give a damn Brother Billy has both guns drawn He ain't been right since Vietnam Sweet home Alabama Play that dead band's song Turn those speakers up full blast Play it all night long Daddy's doing Sister Sally Grandma's dying of cancer now The cattle all have brucellosis We'll get through somehow Sweet home Alabama Play that dead band's song Turn those speakers up full blast Play it all night long I'm going down to the Dew Drop Inn See if I can drink enough There ain't much to country living Sweat, piss, jazz and blood Sweet home Alabama Play that dead band's song Turn those speakers up full blast Play it all night long Sweet home Alabama Play that dead band's song Turn those speakers up full blast Play it all night long, yeah
