[Intro] [Verse] Back when the world fit inside a car Four friends chasing distant stars Burned CDs and dashboard lights Small-town kids on summer nights Windows down and nowhere planned Just open roads and cash in hand Every story felt brand new And every promise somehow true Streetlights painted gold on black Never worried about looking back Certain we'd stay young somehow And maybe part of us still is now [Break] [Verse] Twenty-something and bulletproof Living life with nothing to lose Barroom fights and concert crowds Losing ourselves in the sound Three-hour drives for just one band Gas station coffee throughout the land Every weekend another story Every sunrise another glory The whole world waiting up ahead Too much life to stay in bed We thought we'd live forever then And honestly, we almost did [Pre-Chorus] We were running with the moon Never cared about too soon Every night another chance To feel alive again [Chorus] Here's to the night owls The last ones standing now Singing loud with the windows down Let the whole world hear our sound Here's to the night owls Still never doing what we're told One more song, one more town And we're never growing old Whoa-oh-oh-oh Never growing old Whoa-oh-oh-oh To the night owls [Guitar solo] [Bridge] The years keep rolling by But they never take the fire Every scar, every mile Just adds another reason to smile The faces change The roads move on But the feelings never gone Once it gets inside your mind It stays there for all time [Verse] Now the nights they tick by slow And responsibilities grow But every once in a while we find That old spark still burning bright Maybe the roads aren't quite as long Maybe we don't stay out till dawn But freedom still lives somewhere inside Every time the stars align We'll keep laughing through the years Through the victories and tears Growing older doesn't mean That you stop chasing your dreams [Final Chorus] Here's to the night owls The last ones standing now Singing loud with the windows down Let the whole world hear our sound Here's to the night owls Still never doing what we're told One more night, one more round And we're never going down Whoa-oh-oh-oh Never growing old Whoa-oh-oh-oh To the night owls Whoa-oh-oh-oh To the night owls [Outro]
