Lyrics The House Of Blue Lights - Asleep at the Wheel

Let′s boogie down to the house of blue lights

Lace up your boots and we'll truck on down
To a knocked out shack on the edge of town
That eight beat combo that just won′t quit
Keep a-walking' 'til you see a blue light lit
Fall in there and we′ll gonna see some sights
Down at the house, the house, the house of blue lights

Well there′s fryers, broilers, and Detroit barbecue ribs
But the treat of the treat
Is when they serve up those fine egg beats
You're gonna spend the rest of your nights
Down at the house, the house of blue lights

We′ll have a ball and we'll get some rug
While we dig those tunes like they should be dug
It′s a real homecoming' for all those cats
Ya′ll just boogie past the welcome mat
Fall in there and we'll see some sights
Down at the house, the house, the house of blue lights
Yeah boys!

Lace up your boots and we'll truck on down
To a knocked out shack on the edge of town
That eight beat combo that just won′t quit
Keep a-walking′ 'til you see a blue light lit
Fall in there and we′ll see some sights
Down at the house, the house, the house of blue lights

We'll have a ball and we′ll get some rug
While we dig those tunes like they should be dug
It's a real homecoming′ for all those cats
Ya'll just boogie woogie past the welcome mat
Fall in there and we'll gonna see some sights
Down at the house, the house, the house of blue lights

There′s fryers, broilers, and Detroit barbecue ribs
But the treat of the treat
Is when they serve you those fine egg beats
You′re gonna spend the rest of your night
Down at the house, the house, the house of blue lights

You're gonna spend the rest of your nights
Down at the house, the house, the house of blue lights
Come on I can′t hear you yet
Down at the house, house, house of blue lights
One more time!

You're gonna spend the rest of your nights
Down at the house, house, house of blue lights
One more time
Down at the house, house, house of blue lights
