About

Background

Warren Zevon explained that the song was written “really fast” while on marijuana on the synthesizer ostinato. The song is also considered a satire/homage to the dead band’s song (Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama,” which was itself a reply to Neil Young’s “Southern Man.”). Warren had...

Play It All Night Long Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Grandpa pissed his pants again
He don't give a damn
Brother Billy has both guns drawn
He ain't been right since Vietnam

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Daddy's doing Sister Sally
Grandma's dying of cancer now
The cattle all have brucellosis
We'll get through somehow

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I'm going down to the Dew Drop Inn
See if I can drink enough
There ain't much to country living
Sweat, piss, jizz and blood

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

[Instrumental Outro]
