Verse 1
Flat tire on an old dirt road
Just outside a town I’d never known
Closed sign on the local garage
Guess I’m not gonna get to far
Looked around through the fading light
One neon sign was burning bright
The only place still open around
Just a small bar at the end of town
⸻
Verse 2
Young man sitting at the end of the bar
Ball cap low, cold draft in his hand
Boots still dusty from a long hard week
Just another Friday, letting off steam
Somebody yelled, “Buddy, you’re up!”
He smiled and finished off his cup
Adjusted his hat, grabbed the mic
Just like every Friday night
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Then he started to sing…
And the whole room came alive.
⸻
Chorus (The song he’s sings)
When the sun goes down,
on this small town
No one’s a stranger
in this part of town
Cold beer pouring,
laughter all around
Raise ’em up, sing along
This is our Friday night song
Sit down and have a beer
This is our Friday night cheer
⸻
Verse 3
I walked in and stepped to the bar
Everyone singing while he played guitar
The whole room knew every word,
They all sang along every verse
I stopped looking down at my phone
Forgot all about getting back home
Somewhere between the second verse…
My boots started tappin, I began to sway along
⸻
Bridge
I was looking for a fix
Think I found what I needed next
⸻
Final Chorus
When the sun goes down,
on this small town
No one’s a stranger
in this part of town
Cold beer pouring,
laughter all around
Raise ’em up, sing along
This is our Friday night song
Sit down and have a beer
This is our Friday night cheer
Our Friday Night Cheer! Yeah
