Intro   Em 


verse 1 

Em 
You're a crack-of-dawn, Monday-morning, coffee strong 
Em 
Poured everything you got into a paycheck Friday night 
Em 
You're a Powerstroke diesel, backhoe-riding king of beers, 18-wheeler 
Em 
living life between the lines Of clocking in and quitting time 


Pre-Chorus 

Em 
But then the six-string circus comes to town 
C                                   G  
We hang them speakers over the crowd 


Em 
When the lights come on, everybody's screaming 
               C 
Lighters in the sky, yeah, everybody's singing 
      G                       D 
Every word to every song to a girl to take it home tonight 
Em 
When the lights come on, everybody's feeling 
            C 
A hallelujah high from the floor to the ceiling 
         G 
Yeah, the drink that we're drinking, the smoke that we're smoking 
                   D 
The party we throw, it's going all night long

When the lights come on 

When the lights come on 


verse 2 

Em 
You're a little shy thing with a wild side 
Em 
On a night like this, you just can't hide 
Em 
Cause it's time to live it up 
Em 
So come on and raise your cup 


Pre-Chorus

If we're talkin' 'bout memories, yeah, we're gonna make 'em
