[Verse 1: Miranda Lambert]
She was the Belle of Biloxi back in her day
Shreveport sailing all the way to the bank
She was fish net fancy for a buffet line
Had the same red carpet since ‘79
And she was, ha, ha, staying alive

[Chorus: Miranda Lambert]
Rolling down the river on the Music City Queen
Cumberland water, yeah, life is but a dream
Show boat, baby, gonna make a little green
Rolling down the river on a Music City Queen

[Refrain: The B-52's]
Rolling down the river
Yeah, we’re rolling down the river

[Verse 2: Miranda Lambert & Fred Schneider]
Terry kinda thinks he’s Jerry Lee Lewis
Plays “Great Balls of Fire” like there ain’t nothing to it
Tina never quite had a Hollywood body
But she makes a damn good look-alike Dolly (Whoo, Dolly!)
Working 9 to 5

[Pre-Chorus: Miranda Lambert & Fred Schneider]
‘Round about 10:30 (10:30!)
All the jokes, they get dirty (That’s dirty!)
And the waitress, she gets flirty (You’re flirty!)
In the right light, she kinda purty
[Chorus: Miranda Lambert & Fred Schneider]
Everybody just rolling down the river on the Music City Queen
Cumberland water, yeah life is but a dream
Show boat baby, gonna make a little green
Rolling down the river on a Music City Queen (Music City Queen!)

[Bridge: Miranda Lambert & Fred Schneider]
If your heyday is faded, you can still be a star
Get to boozin’ and cruisin’, maritime is a charm
Didn't make it in Vegas, if the magic is gone
If you're flashy and trashy, come on and get on, get on!

[Chorus 2: Miranda Lambert & Fred Schneider]
And we’re rolling down the river on the Music City Queen
Cumberland water, yeah, life is but a dream (We're rollin' on!)
She’s a show boat baby, no, it ain’t high seas
Rolling down the river on a Music City Queen (Get on!)

[Outro: Miranda Lambert & The B-52's]
She’s a show boat baby
And we’re rolling down the river
A rockin’ river lady
Yeah, we’re rolling down the river
It's a dream
Yeah, we’re rolling down the river
Come on, get on
