Worked all week, got it all done Let's make a Tennessee River run Hey everybody, I think the time is right Let's get together down where the catfish bite Cooped up all winter waitin' on a day like this It's the way I feel when I'm rockin' on the water Baby that I can't resist BBQ grill, summertime jam Just about a mile above the Pickwick dam Party on the water, whole lotta fun Time to make a Tennessee River run I'll get my bass boat, crank up your party barge We'll drop these anchors out where the big boats are Break out a cooler, pass out some ice cold beer Look at all the people out here on the water Man I can't believe we're here Swingin' on a rope, gonna have a ball Jumpin' off the Yellow Creek waterfall Checking out the honeys baking in the sun God bless a Tennessee River run Doo-doo-n-doo-dee Oh what a weekend, we've had some time to play I should be leavin', tomorrow's a work week day I just might call in, tell 'em that I can't get home Does anybody want to stay a little longer Or am I gonna be alone? Floatin' on a tube, gonna weigh a ton Cajun sausage on a hot dog bun B-B-Q grill, summertime jam Just about a mile above the Pickwick dam Party on the water, whole lot of fun Time to make a Tennessee River run Doo-doo-n-doo-dee Nothing like a Tennessee River run I love a Tennessee River run Whoop up a Tennessee River run
