"Raise the Barn" Lyrics

(Keith Urban - Monty Powell)
Keith Urban & Ronnie Dunn

Ain't no strangers when you're
Swingin' a hammer side by side, oh
Yeah, had a little setback
But ain't nothin' gonna stop this Southern pride, no, no
So heave-ho, let's pull together now boys
Once again this town's gonna make some noise.

Chorus:
We'll be square-dancing', toe-tappin'
We'll be kickin' up our heels to the "Cotton-Eyed Joe"
Music and laughter, gonna raise the rafters
A little boot-slidin' across the floor
Do a little hand-holdin', hay-rollin'
Strollin' with your honey by your side
Dixie cups and paper plates
Fiddle tunes and "Amazing Grace"
Hallelujah, gonna raise the barn tonight.

Well, the Lord he was willing
But the creek it did rise up anyhow
And the boss man don't seem to care
So it's up to us to gather ' round
The stars'll shine a little brighter than before
It's gonna come alive when we swing open the door and.

Chorus:
We'll be square-dancing', toe-tappin'
We'll be kickin' up our heels to the "Cotton-Eyed Joe"
Music and laughter, gonna raise the rafters
A little boot-slidin' across the floor
Do a little hand-holdin', hay-rollin'
Strollin' with your honey by your side
Dixie cups and paper plates
Fiddle tunes and "Amazing Grace"
Hallelujah, gonna raise the barn tonight.

So heave-ho, let's pull together now boys
Once again this town's gonna make some noise
Everybody makes some noise.

Chorus:
We'll be square-dancing', toe-tappin'
We'll be kickin' up our heels to the "Cotton-Eyed Joe"
Music and laughter, gonna raise the rafters
A little boot-slidin' across the floor
Do a little hand-holdin', hay-rollin'
Strollin' with your honey by your side
Dixie cups and paper plates
Fiddle tunes and "Amazing Grace"
Hallelujah, gonna raise the barn tonight.

So, come on now, let's gather 'round
Gonna give it up and all throw down
Hallelujah, gonna raise the barn tonight.

Raise the barn tonight,
