Long Hard Day Lyrics

Carpenter Long Hard Day

There’s a bonfire up by the county road
And where we’ll end up no one knows
And I heard there’s a bash up by Sally’s street
Let’s pick Betty up we can dance to the beat
We go crazy in spring, we go wild in the fall
Let’s go shimmy and shake at the old Legion hall

It’s been a long hard day, time to live it up our own way
Here’s to a long hard night, dance til daylight
It don’t matter what the old folks say

Ten of us boys pile into a car,
We head out in search of some girls and a bar
There’s an old town hall up on the main street,
There’ll be doo wop girls with heels on their feet
We can ask ‘em to dance, we can feed ‘em a line,
We can shimmy and shake til that jukebox dies

It’s been a long hard day, time to live it up our own way
Here’s to a long hard night, dance til daylight
It don’t matter what the old folks say

We go all the way, we get crazy at the end of the day

It’s a long hard day, time to live it up our own way
Here’s to a long hard night, dance til daylight
It don’t matter what the old folks say
