Long about midnight
up on Chigger Hill
Making mischief in the moonlight
just looking for a thrill
Then the lights are coming on and they're flashing blue
and they're running and they're gunning after you-know-who
Grinding out the gears in my pickup truck
trying to get away so we don't get busted

[CHORUS:]
Flying 90 miles an hour
like a wild bat out of hell
(singing) hallelujah with a rebel yell
Dancing with a little danger
fast and hard I'm gonna ride
praying I'm just gonna make it out alive
Good lord willing and the creek don't rise
Good lord willing and the creek don't rise

Long about sunrise
cuddled up with Audra May
She never said she had a boyfriend
Oh boy, it's me who's going to pay
Cause he's standing out the window and he's fighting mad
looking like I might have stolen everything he had
Red-faced, cussing, yeah he's blowing a fuse
tough luck brother, when you snooze you lose

[CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

Good lord willing and the creek don't rise
Good lord willing and the creek don't rise
Good lord willing and the creek don't rise
Good lord willing and the creek don't rise
Good lord willing and the creek don't rise
