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 guestsA 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

Mmhm

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

And 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 (I'm going 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
