"Champagne Night" lyrics

Lady A Lyrics

"Champagne Night"
(from "Songland")

The stars go out on the Sunset Strip
But after last call ours still stay lit
Make a twenty last like it's 1990
Way out here
Where we're from
We don't say, "Ooh-la-la, Pérignon"
Don't need no bottle service budget (no)
Got no money but we love it (woo)

Raisin' plastic cups to a life of luxury
C'est la vie on a Friday
We get dressed up in a blue jean tux
And we go where we don't hear the highway
Don't need doubles and bubbles
To get in all kinds of trouble
Out in the country
Don't need a crystal chandelier
To have a real good time
We're drinkin' beer on a champagne night
A champagne night

No velvet booths in our hometown bar
Our VIPs are drinkin' PBR
No, we don't need a high-rise skyline
View from a window
'Cause way out here (way out here)
Where we're from (where we're from)
We don't have to be fancy
To have a whole lotta fun

Raisin' plastic cups to a life of luxury
C'est la vie on a Friday
We get dressed up in a blue jean tux
And we go where we don't hear the highway
Don't need doubles and bubbles
To get in all kinds of trouble
Out in the country
Don't need a crystal chandelier
To have a real good time
We're drinkin' beer on a champagne night
Champagne night

You'll never see us sippin' long-stem glasses
Even if we're in a Hollywood palace
We ain't on our own island
No, we ain't drippin' in diamonds
We're gettin' rhinestoned

Raisin' plastic cups to a life of luxury
C'est la vie on a Friday
We get dressed up in a blue jean tux
And we go where we don't hear the highway
Don't need doubles and bubbles
To get in all kinds of trouble
Out in the country
Don't need a crystal chandelier
To have a real good time
We're drinkin' beer on a champagne night

Drinkin' beer on a champagne night
We're drinkin' beer on a champagne night
I'm drinkin' beer on a champagne night
Drinkin' beer on a champagne night
We're drinkin' beer on a champagne night
We're drinkin' beer on a champagne night

"Champagne Night" was re-worked by Lady Antebellum and Shane McAnally from Madeline Merlo's song "I'll Drink to That" which she debuted during the Season 2 premiere of NBC's "Songland" on 04/13/2020. Merlo told about it, "The members of Lady Antebellum were so kind and gracious, and Shane was a dream come true to work with. I loved every minute of being a part of that show." The judges of the show called the song "funky" and having a "summer song" potential.
