If there's any place else I'd rather be
It's down 81, near Tennessee
Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountain range
There's a gathering of friends coming out to play
The sun is shining
The wine is flowing
The girls are all dancing with their tube-tops on
The grill is sizzling
Jerry's still singing
And Jim ain't turning in before the dawn
Don't look now--who's that rolling through?
It's Ryan with a case of his homemade brew
Jim's smoking more than just BBQ
If I can't rhyme this line then maybe I am also
The sun is shining
The wine is flowing
The girls are all dancing with their tube-tops on
The grill is sizzling
Jerry's still picking
And no one's turning in before the dawn
