Back Forty Rave

yodel-ay, yodel-ay, yodel-ay, yodel-ay

yodel-ay, yodel-o, boots on the porch turn the speakers low

Yodel-ay, yodel-ay, tonight the whole county's coming down to me

Mabel rode in on a red combine

With a cooler full of peaches and a homemade sign

She said, I got two-step shoes and a pocket full of change

If the barn starts shaking, don't you act strange

Old Ray brought a fiddle and a toolbox case

His cousin brought a laser and a grin on his face

The mayor checked his watch, then he loosened his tie

When the bass hit hard, he yelled, give it one more try

He bails by the doorway, boots across the floor

Somebody's cowbell keeps asking for more

From the county line to the water tower

Everybody's got a little midnight power

Yodel-ay, yodel-o, let the farm life spin

Kick up the dust, let the good times end

Yodel-ee, yodel-ay, shake that old tin roof

Country in your heart and a techno-proof proof

Hey, ho, ho, ride that sound

Turn the whole back 40 upside down

Yodel-ay, yodel-o, sing it loud and clear

The funniest party of the harvest year

And June wore glitter on her denim coat

She drove the tractor like a riverboat

Little bendy buckets with a wooden spoon And the rooster crowed perfectly on the tune

There was pie on the tailgate, lemonade in a jar A satellite dish pointed straight at the bar

When the moon climbed over the silo so bright The barn doors opened like a county fair night

Hay bales by the doorway, boots across the floor Somebody's cowbell keeps asking for more

From the county line to the water tower

Everybody's got a little midnight power

Yodel-ay, yodel-o, let the farm life spin

Kick up the dust, let the good times end

Yodel-ay, yodel-ay, shake that old tin roof

Country in your heart and a technoproof groove

Hey, hey, ho, ride that sound

Turn the whole back forty upside down

Yodel-ay, yodel-o, sing it loud and clear

The funniest party of the harvest year

Yodel-ay, the tractor's in the lane

Yodel-o, dancing through the grain

One step left, two steps right

Wave your hat beneath the porch light

Yodel-ay, nobody goes home

Till the last sweet note rolls past the county phone

Boots clap, boots clap

Spin that hate bell, bring the rhythm back

Yodel-ay, yodel-ay, yodel-ay

Low bass rumbling through the old silo

Yodel-ay, yodel-o, let the farm life spin

Kick up the dust, let the good times end

Yodel-ay, yodel-ay, shake that old tin roof

Country in your heart and a techno-proof groove

Hey, ho, ho, ride that sound

Turn the whole back 40 upside down

Yodel-ay, yodel-o, sing it loud and clear

The funniest party of the harvest year

Mabel waved from the combine throne

Ray played one last note and everybody drove home

Yodel-ay, yodel-o, stars above the field

The county found a rhythm nobody could yield

Yodel-ay, yodel-o, when the morning came

Every dusty boot still remembered the refrain
