Well, on the outskirts of town, there's a little night spot.
Dan dropped in about five o'clock. Pulled off his coat, said, The night is short. He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart. CHORUS:
             F
He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you!

Rave on, cats, he cried.

It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.

Well, the cops heard Dan when he started to shout.
They all ran in to see what it was about. And I heard him holler as they led him away. He turned his head, and this is what he had to say. CHORUS:

He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you!

Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw.
He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law. Thru the black cross-bars he tossed a note.. He said, It ain't my fault, hon, that I'm in here. CHORUS:
             F
He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you!

Rave on, cats, he cried.

It's almost dawn, and the cops ain't gone.

G                C
And I been Dixie fried.
