Saturday Redneck - Montgomery Gentry

One of the sad things to hit rock music in the last 25 years is excessive market fragmentation. While it makes sense from a marketing perspective (IOW, to pointy-haired marketing directors), it means that you get less and less variety when you turn on the radio. This is one of the reasons that I listen to Country stations, as there's actually much more variety there.

Today's Saturday Redneck is "All Night Long" from Montgomery Gentry. It's basic, rocking night club music - good guitar, easy to dance to, upbeat and fun. Kind of what Rock 'n Roll used to be. Not really Country at all, except you'll only hear it if you tune your radio to the Hillbilly part of the dial.
Well the party started early
About a quarter to three
Just a few close friends
Charlie, Troy, and me
We just got started when somebody asked
How long you think this party's gonna last

I said all night long (all night long)
I said all night long (all night long)
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin'
Gonna boogie-woogie all night long

Well the next door neighbors started raising a fuss
Said you had a party and you didn't call us
I said put on your dancing shoes and come along
We'll be here till the cows come home

I said all night long (all night long)
I said all night long (all night long)
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin'
Gonna boogie-woogie all night long
(and that's all night long)

(Ahh, guitar)

We'll be jumping through the windows and sneaking down the halls
Dancing on the ceiling, dancing on the wall
The last thing I remember 'fore the lights went out
I jumped up on the table and I started to shout

I said all night long (all night long)
I said all night long (all night long)
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin'
Gonna boogie-woogie all night long
