[Verse 1]
Screen door slams
We haul out the chairs
Cooler on the gravel
Cold cans everywhere
Pine smoke climbs
Up into the dark
May bugs dance circles
Around the sparks
One long pull
Then we pass it down
Boots in the dirt
No reason to leave town
[Pre-Chorus]
You laugh, I grin
The night leans in
That old fire glow
Gets under your skin
[Chorus]
Late May night, late May night
Beer and fire, we’re feeling right
Late May night, late May night
Hold me close, let the coals burn bright
Late May night, late May night
Raise one up to the sky tonight
Late May night, late May night
Beer and fire, we’re feeling right
[Verse 2]
Bottle on the rail
Ring of rain-red wood
Your name on my tongue
Like I knew it would
Crickets start up
Where the grass runs high
You kick off your shoes
I watch you smile
Ash on my sleeve
Smoke in my hair
That old dirt road
Can wait till dawn somewhere
[Pre-Chorus]
You lean in close
The world gets small
Just this fire
And us through it all
[Chorus]
Late May night, late May night
Beer and fire, we’re feeling right
Late May night, late May night
Hold me close, let the coals burn bright
Late May night, late May night
Raise one up to the sky tonight
Late May night, late May night
Beer and fire, we’re feeling right
[Bridge]
Let June come on
Let the morning wait
We’ve got this flame
And we’ve got this place
If the stars fade out
We’ll still be here
One more song
One more beer
[Chorus]
Late May night, late May night
Beer and fire, we’re feeling right
Late May night, late May night
Hold me close, let the coals burn bright
Late May night, late May night
Raise one up to the sky tonight
Late May night, late May night
Beer and fire, we’re feeling right
