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
