High Note

(album: Gravel & Gold - 2023)

If they ever drop the big one, I got me a plan
I won't be in no bunker eating peaches from a can
I'll be holed up in the basement with two very special guests
A big ol' stack of Flatt and Scruggs and a bag of Willie's best

Going out on a high note
A blaze of glory lit in my left hand
I'm going out on a high note
Like a tenor in an old hillbilly band

Now it ain't Armageddon, but the weekend's finally here
Yeah some folks wanna rock and roll and drink a downtown beer
Oh but me and my sweet baby just crossed the great divide
We're rolling like a banjo straight into Telluride

Going out on a high note
A blaze of glory lit in my left hand
I'm going out on a high note
Like a tenor in an old hillbilly band

Ain't gonna run, ain't gonna hide
I'm just gonna take a ride
Yeah I'll be fine on judgement day
With a G-Run and a J

I'm going out on a high note
A blaze of glory lit in my left hand
I'm going out on a high note
Like a tenor in an old hillbilly band
Like a tenor in an old hillbilly band
Yeah that's my plan
