Tell 'Em About Tonight

Original

Someday these lights are gonna fade.

Some other good old boy'll be on this stage.

And the only place you might see my name is on a T-shirt in a closet taking up space.

Yeah, someday they won't wanna turn me up, and them records on the wall start to rust.

What I never thought I'd do turns into what I've done, and I get to reminiscing on my time in the sun.

'Bout the boys in the back with the beers up high and the girls in the front row singing every line.

I'm gonna think about them lighters way up in the sky and how we rode that rocket as far as it could fly.

Yeah, when somebody someday way on down the line says, "Tell me something you're proud of when you think about your life," I'm gonna tell 'em about my kids, I'm gonna tell 'em about my wife, and you're damn right

I'm gonna tell 'em 'bout tonight.

I'll think about guitars roaring out the speakers, cowboy boots stomping in the bleachers.

And that feeling in the air lighting that live wire, dreamers dancing in the dark with their hearts on fire.

And the boys in the back with the beers up high and the girls in the front row singing every line.

I'm gonna think about them lighters way up in the sky and how we rode that rocket as far as it could fly.

Yeah, when somebody someday way on down the line says, "Tell me something you're proud of when you think about your life," I'm gonna tell 'em about my kids, I'm gonna tell 'em about my wife, and you're damn right

I'm gonna tell 'em 'bout tonight.

Here's to the boys in the back with the beers up high and the girls in the front row singing every line.

I'm gonna think about them lighters way up in the sky and how we rode that rocket as far as it could fly.

Yeah, when somebody someday way on down the line says, "Tell me something you're proud of when you think about your life," I'm gonna tell 'em about my kids, gonna tell 'em about my wife, and you're damn right

I'm gonna tell 'em 'bout tonight.

Tell 'em 'bout tonight.

Tell 'em 'bout tonight. Tell 'em 'bout tonight.
