All of this town seems drunk tonight And I'm looking for your hand The girls I see now are driving around In borrowed minivans
They're wearing tanktops and knee-high pants And laughingly singing out loud They're running around this old town Looking for their man
Some of the people seem lost tonight With all their drunken hands in flight So take me to the country land It's time for us to make our stand And it's time to make some music right We'll know each other better tonight
So carry me out past the place I live I think I'm ready I'm ready to give You everything everything little and big I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready to live
We're leaving the land of buried barns To wet basement apartments and into our arms Flying in bursts through the watery parks We'll fly on our bikes in this dark dark dark dark
And all of the people are with us tonight And all of their hopeful plans So take me to the countryside so we can make our stand
And it's time to make us sing tonight Time to make this land feel bright And it's time to use our hands for right And make this place feel bright tonight
