I pulled up to a cattle guard
Aku tiba di pagar ternak
got out, opened up the gate
keluar, membuka gerbang
I drove down a long dirt road
aku melaju di jalan tanah yang panjang
to the banks of an old two-acre lake
menuju tepi danau tua seluas dua hektar
they had bonfires and barbwire
mereka punya api unggun dan kawat berduri
fresh-caught catfish in the deep fryer
ikan lele segar yang digoreng dalam penggorengan
I jumped out my truck and said, it's on
aku melompat keluar dari trukku dan bilang, ayo mulai!
and everybody sang
dan semua orang bernyanyi
hey ya'll, break out the beer, turn the skynyrd on
hei semua, ambil birnya, nyalakan musik Skynyrd
hey ya'll, how ya doin'?
hei semua, apa kabar?
whatcha doin'?
lagi ngapain?
hey ya'll, we ain't leavin' 'til they call the law
hei semua, kita gak akan pergi sampai polisi datang
hey ya'll, hey ya'll, come on
hei semua, hei semua, ayo!

a cloud of dust came rollin' in
sebuah awan debu datang menggulung
blue lights flashin', there were ten of them
lampu biru berkedip, ada sepuluh dari mereka
sheriff harper and all his boys
sheriff Harper dan semua anak buahnya
said all they had to do was just follow the noise
katanya yang mereka lakukan hanya mengikuti suara
he dropped his gun, and then his star
dia menjatuhkan senjatanya, lalu lencana sheriff-nya
reached in his cruiser, pulled out his guitar
meraih gitarnya dari mobil patroli
said officer, what have we done wrong?
katanya, petugas, apa yang salah?
he just smiled at me and said, nothin at all, singin'
dia hanya tersenyum padaku dan bilang, tidak ada, nyanyilah
hey ya'll break out the beer, turn the skynyrd on
hei semua, ambil birnya, nyalakan musik Skynyrd
hey ya'll whatcha doin'? how ya' doin'?
hei semua, lagi ngapain? apa kabar?
hey ya'll crank it up, we ain't never goin' home
hei semua, nyalakan lebih keras, kita gak akan pulang
hey ya'll,
hei semua,
hey ya'll watch this
hei semua, lihat ini
see that girl over there lookin' fine
lihat cewek itu di sana kelihatan menawan
well, I betcha by morning I can make her mine
aku yakin sebelum pagi, aku bisa membuatnya jadi milikku
everybody sang
semua orang bernyanyi
hey ya'll, break out the beer, turn the skynyrd on
hei semua, ambil birnya, nyalakan musik Skynyrd
hey ya'll watcha doin'?
hei semua, lagi ngapain?
baby, how'm I doin'?
sayang, aku baik-baik saja?
hey ya'll, we ain't leavin' til the law goes home
hei semua, kita gak akan pergi sampai polisi pulang
hey ya'll, hey ya'll, come on
hei semua, hei semua, ayo!
