I just dropped five dollars in a jukebox, baby
Ain't a soul on the ol' dance floor
If you're gonna run with the big dogs hon
You gotta get off the porch

You can sit there all night uptight, honey
But a good time's something I know
You gotta get the jump while the night is young
And there's just one way to go

Out with a bang kickin' up dust
Honey, tonight I'm all wound up
Over the fence and off of my chain
Honey, tonight I'm hurricane
Out with a bang

You know some folks say, "I'll never see heaven
If I don't change the road I'm on"
But me I know just where I'm goin'
I don't have to be told

The say livin' fast just won't last
But that don't bother me
'Cause when it comes my time to go
I won't go easily

Out with a bang kickin' up dust
Honey, tonight I'm all wound up
Over the fence and off of my chain
Honey, tonight I'm hurricane
Out with a bang

Everybody wants good time
We all have the right
So if you're comin' with me now, darlin'
You better hold on tight

David Lee Murphy

David Lee Murphy (born January 7, 1959) is an American country music artist. Signed to MCA Nashville Records in 1994, Murphy made his first appearance on the Billboard country charts that year with "Just Once", a song from the soundtrack to the 1994 film 8 Seconds. A year later, Murphy's debut album Out with a Bang was released; overall, it produced four chart singles. His follow-up albums, Gettin' Out the Good Stuff (1996) and We Can't All Be Angels (1997) were less successful than their predecessors, and by 1998, Murphy was dropped from MCA's roster. A fourth album, Tryin' to Get There, was released in 2004 on Koch Entertainment (now E1 Music), with the Top 5 single "Loco" being released from that album before Koch closed its country division in 2005. more »
