Country Lights

​[Intro]
(Upbeat acoustic strumming, full drum kit kick-in, warm electric riffs)
​[Verse 1]
Packed in the stands when the stadium glows
Cheering every play as the autumn wind blows
Bleachers shakin' while the scoreboard rings
Wrapped up in the moment and the joy it brings
Helmets clashing down on forty-yard turf
Best kind of feelin' anywhere on Earth
​[Chorus]
From the Friday night lights to the bonfire blaze
Livin' out the best of our younger days
Tailgates open by the water at night
Laughter carryin' under full moonlight
Making memories we'll always hold tight
Yeah, we’re living it big, living it right
​[Verse 2]
Headlights line up heading down to the shore
Kick off your boots right by the water's door
A fire popping high, casting shadows on the pines
A little background music and a song inline
Talking about tomorrow, where we're gonna go
Taking every single second real easy and slow
​[Chorus]
From the Friday night lights to the bonfire blaze
Livin' out the best of our younger days
Tailgates open by the water at night
Laughter carryin' under full moonlight
Making memories we'll always hold tight
Yeah, we’re living it big, living it right
​[Bridge]
(Drums drop down to a steady pulse, acoustic guitar leads, baritone vocal stays warm and smooth)
Time moves fast when you’re seventeen or eighteen
Chasing down every simple, honest dream
When the fire dies down to a soft red glow
We head on back with a story to show
​[Guitar Solo]
(Upbeat melodic electric guitar with subtle pedal steel accent)
​[Chorus]
From the Friday night lights to the bonfire blaze
Livin' out the best of our younger days
Tailgates open by the water at night
Laughter carryin' under full moonlight
Making memories we'll always hold tight
Yeah, we’re living it big, living it right
​[Outro]
Yeah, living it right...
Just good friends under the open sky
Watching the years go flying by...
(Acoustic strum fades out with a soft drum rimshot)
