Tell 'Em About Tonight

Someday these lights are gonna fade

Some other good ol' 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 will start to rust

When 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 gon' 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 gon' tell 'em 'bout my kids, gon' tell 'em 'bout my wife

And you damn right

I'm gon' 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 gon' 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 gon' tell 'em 'bout my kids, gon' tell 'em 'bout my wife

And you damn right

I'm gon' 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 gon' 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 gon' tell 'em 'bout my kids, gon' tell 'em 'bout my wife

And you damn right

I'm gon' tell 'em 'bout tonight

Tell 'em 'bout tonight

Tell 'em 'bout tonight

Tell 'em 'bout tonight
