Well, look out world, it's Friday night and I'm itching to dance
I want a front row table at the Union Hall and a cowboy by the hand
I'm ready to roll when the guitars are rockin'
Won't sit down when the bass starts walkin'
I love to hear those twin fiddles talkin'
So let's crank up the band
I'm gonna go down swingin'
Give me that old sound
Singin' those three-part harmonies
I was born tappin' my toes
And when they finally lay me low
Gonna go down swingin'
Well, there's nothin' better than a drummer
Knockin' out eight beats to the bar
Oh, piano player
That knows how to boogie and a slide and still guitar
I'll be the first one on the floor tonight
Won't sit down when it's closin' time
They won't get me out of there without a fight
Cause I know right from the start
I'm gonna go down swingin'
Give me that old sound
Singin' those three-part harmonies
I was born tappin' my toes
And when they finally lay me low
Gonna go down swingin'
Oh, swingin' girls
Oh, swingin' girls
I'm gonna go down swingin'
Give me that old sound
Singin' those three-part harmonies
I was born tappin' my toes
And when they finally lay me low
Gonna go down swingin'
Swingin'
Go down swingin'
I'm gonna go down swingin'

Go down swingin'
