[Verse 1] Somebody's gonna hurt someone Before the night is through Somebody's gonna come undone There's nothin' we can do Me and my friends in that old truck bed Dust risin' up the county road Mama's porch light fadin' in the distance As I'm headin' out to find what I don't know [Chorus] There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know There's gonna be a heartache tonight Lord, I know Summer's playin' country on the radio And I can't turn back home [Verse 2] Some people say don't leave your family Some folks just can't let it go But nobody wants to stay put anymore There's too much burnin' in their soul Stars hangin' low like they're reachin' down Engine runnin' warm beneath my hands This night is gonna last forever Last all, last all summer long, understand [Chorus] There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know Lord I know The moon's shinin' bright on what I'm leavin' And it won't let me go [Bridge] Everybody wants to touch somebody If it takes all night Everybody wants to take a little chance Make it come out right We can run from all our yesterdays We can leave it in the dust But before the sun comes up Somebody's heart is gonna bust [Final Chorus] There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know I'm drivin' toward tomorrow But my soul stays back at home
