[Verse 1]
A                             Am
There's a roadside bar with a neon 
sign
             G
And when the sun goes down
         D
We'll be rollin' up
A
About the time to lighten up 
(Lighten up)

A
To kick off the night on the right 
foot
         G
Southpaw pass it around
              D
Gon' keep the windows up
                Am          A
'Cause we'll be lightin' up

A
Now, Brotha Jimbo ain't no late 
night toker
      G
Never been one to roll with the holy
 rollers
       D
Just a-puts a little somethin' in 
his cup
                 A
When he wants to lighten up, lighten
 up


[Chorus]
                      G
Maybe everybody could lighten up
Continues after the ad
                     D
When the road gets a little tough, 
give a little love
                      F      G 
And put your lighters in the air 
       A
then light 'em up
                        G
Lately everybody's done had enough

                         D
Gotta get it back to the good stuff,
 just to live it up
         F                        
When the world goes dark we'll be 
A
lightin' up


[Verse 2]
N.C.
Back porch, pickin' from my six 
string
               G
Sippin' from a fill it up cup, uh
                 D
They ain't gonna turn it down, nah
     A
Only gonna crank it up, crank it up 
(Light it up)

Rednecker hippers and the girls on 
              G
my cities all gettin' along
           D
Long hairs on the country song


[Chorus]
A                     G
Maybe everybody could lighten up
                     D
When the road gets a little tough, 
give a little love
             G                  
And put your lighters in the air 
      A
then light 'em up
                        G
Lately everybody's done had enough

                         D
Gotta get it back to the good stuff,
 just to live it up
         F                        
When the world goes dark we'll be 
A
lightin' up

Yeah, maybe everybody could lighten 
up
                     D
When the road gets a little tough, 
give a little love
And put your lighters in the air 
     A
then light 'em up
                   G
Lately everybody's done had enough

                         D
Gotta get it back to the good stuff,
 just to live it up
                    G             
When the world goes dark we'll be 
A           G
lightin' up
A          G    A              G
Lighten up,     lighten up
