| If they ever drop the big one, I got me a plan |
| I won’t be in no bunker eatin' 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 |
| Goin' out on a high note |
| A blaze of glory lit in my left hand |
| I’m goin' 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 rollin' like a banjo straight into Telluride |
| Goin' out on a high note |
| A blaze of glory lit in my left hand |
| I’m goin' 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 goin' out on a high note |
| A blaze of glory lit in my left hand |
| I’m goin' 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 |
