[Verse 1]
She spun around in that gravel lot
Boots kicking up little clouds of dust
Said
“Joy is the celebration
Baby
Every heartbeat’s a firework for us”
Plastic cups
String lights shaking
Her laugh louder than the old jukebox
“Dance in the glory of each moment
Treat every second like we hit the jackpot”
[Chorus]
It’s a festival of the soul (hey!)
Under wide open skies
We glow
Hands up high
Just lose control
As the night runs wild and slow
You said joy is the celebration
I said wisdom is the way we roll
You got the crown and I got the road
Riding through this festival of the soul
[Verse 2]
I tipped my hat
Said
“Here’s my creed
Wisdom is the scepter that I hold”
Wield what we’ve learned with a little grace
Be a ruler of our bright days getting old
She pulled me close in the tailgate light
“Then rule this dance floor
Take your throne
Your kingdom’s every small decision
Every ‘yes’ we carve in stone”
[Chorus]
It’s a festival of the soul (oh yeah)
Under wide open skies
We glow
Hands up high
Just lose control
As the night runs wild and slow
You said joy is the celebration
I said wisdom is the way we roll
You got the crown and I got the road
Riding through this festival of the soul
[Bridge]
Spin me ‘round that dusty halo
Let the future find us here
You bring the wild
I bring the steady
Between the two
The path is clear (hey!)
Joy in every little misstep
Grace in every story told
We’ll dance like kids
Think like sages
Growing up and staying bold
[Chorus]
It’s a festival of the soul
Under wide open skies
We glow
Hands up high
Just lose control
As the night runs wild and slow
You said joy is the celebration
I said wisdom is the way we roll
You got the crown and I got the road
Riding through this festival of the soul
