Play It All Night Long Lyrics

Grandpa's pissed his pants again
He don't give a damn
Uncle John's been acting strange
He ain't been right since Vietnam

[Chorus]
Sweet home Alabama
Play that dead man's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long

Grandpa's doing Sister Sally
Steve Inne's got cancer
The cattle all have tuberculosis
We'll get through somehow

[Chorus]

And I'm going down to the Dew Drop Inn
I'm gonna drink 'till I get my fill
There ain't much to country living
Sweat, piss, jizz, blood

[Chorus]

And I've been around the world
And it ain't that pretty at all
So I'm gonna throw myself against the wall
I'm gonna hurl myself against the wall

'Cause I'd rather feel bad
I'd rather feel bad
I'd rather feel bad, than not feel anything at all

[Chorus: x2]

Play it all night long
Play it all night long
Play it all night long

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
