"Tell 'em About Tonight" lyrics

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
