Lyrics
Raise a Ruckus
Townley/Johnson Copyright 2008

(v1)
Girl, the way I see it from my side of the tracks...
Your people chase the Joneses, while I fix their Cadillacs
when I caught you lookin' at me
At my old man's shop
I dropped what I was doin, knew we had to talk...

(chorus )
Let's raise a ruckus, start a fuss
Get the whole town talking
Gossipin' 'bout us
Have a long shot, 'cross the tracks
Preacher's daughter meets the rebel
Turn your head romance
Makeum look then watchum try'n stop us
Let's Raise a ruckus

(v2)
You can teach me how to order, my BBQ in French
I'll show 'em at the clubhouse how to grip a socket wrench
Won't care if they call us
"Grits and Chardonnay"
Let's have a little hoedown, Dosey Do in the hay

(chorus)
Raise a ruckus, start a fuss
Get the whole town talking
Gossipin' 'bout us
Have a long shot, 'cross the tracks
Preacher's daughter meets the rebel
Turn your head romance
Makeum look then watchum try'n stop us....

(bridge)
(We're) Causin a commotion, on the edge of no return
Lighting a wildfire just to watch it burn
