[Verse 1]
Left the glow behind
At the gravel road end
Packed a cooler, two chairs
And a worn-out old friend
Creek kept time for us
While the pines leaned in close
We watched the dark come down
Like a blanket of gold
[Pre-Chorus]
No screen can hold
What this sky can give
A fire in my chest
That’s how I wanna live
[Chorus]
Good night under the stars
That’s where my heart starts
Good night under the stars
Baby, that’s the best part
Give me pine smoke, cold air
Give me your hand right there
Good night under the stars
Better than a hundred bars
[Verse 2]
Coffee on the camp stove
Dawn on the ridge line
Boots by the river bank
Mud on the hemline
You laugh at the coyotes
Howl way off in the hills
We don’t need much at all
Just this quiet and this chill
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the town fade out
Let the blue screens sleep
Out here every breath
Feels wide and deep
[Chorus]
Good night under the stars
That’s where my heart starts
Good night under the stars
Baby, that’s the best part
Give me pine smoke, cold air
Give me your hand right there
Good night under the stars
Better than a hundred bars
[Bridge]
I’ve seen that cold blue glow
On a face all night
Makes a man forget
What’s right in sight
But out here with you
And the moon so clear
I remember what I want
When the whole world disappears
[Final Chorus]
Good night under the stars
That’s where my heart starts
Good night under the stars
Baby, that’s the best part
Give me pine smoke, cold air
Give me your hand right there
Good night under the stars
Better than a hundred bars
