Raise the Barn

(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,
