Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Rust on the mailbox Tires on the gravel Slow You pull up in that hand-me-down Chevy Same one from forever ago We got cheap beer Big dreams Dust dancing in the high beams Everybody got a hard week Everybody got a hard week to let go [Chorus] Lights come on And the small-town sky feels stadium high Singing every broken-hearted line Like the whole world’s on our side Hands up Swaying on your front lawn Kicking off the dark till it’s all gone We ain’t rich but we’re holding on Yeah We get strong When the lights come on (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Screen door banging Your mama yelling “keep it down” We’re barefoot drumming on the porch boards Like the kings and queens of this town You’re laughing in that old band tee That you stole right off of me You spin around Fall into my arms And suddenly I can breathe [Chorus] Lights come on And the small-town sky feels stadium high Singing every broken-hearted line Like the whole world’s on our side Hands up Swaying on your front lawn Kicking off the dark till it’s all gone We ain’t rich but we’re holding on Yeah We get strong When the lights come on [Bridge] Maybe we’ll get out someday Or maybe this is all we need If I’ve got your name on my hoodie And your heartbeat up against me Every scar Every scar just fades Under backyard glory days We’re a wildfire choir Screaming through the haze (hey!) [Chorus] Lights come on And the small-town sky feels stadium high Singing every broken-hearted line Like the whole world’s on our side Hands up Swaying on your front lawn Kicking off the dark till it’s all gone We ain’t rich but we’re holding on Yeah We get strong When the lights come on When the lights come on (oh) Yeah We get strong When the lights come on
