[Intro] Turn it up! Let the whole town hear! [Verse 1] Clock strikes five on the factory wall I take my coat from a rusty nail Thirty years answering every call Tonight I've got a different tale There's an old guitar in the spare back room Six loose strings and a layer of dust I plug it in and it shakes the floor Still got a little thunder left in us [Pre-Chorus] My hands are shaking But the sound is clear I've spent too long saying "Maybe next year" [Chorus] Break the night! Let the windows shake I've got a voice And I've got something to say Turn it loud! Let the first chord fly I've been waiting for a perfect moment Now I'm making one tonight [Verse 2] Found some friends at a corner bar One plays drums, one's learning bass We miss a beat and we laugh too hard Then count it in and find our place Saturday on a plywood stage Twelve people standing in the rain Someone cheers when we finish a song So we turn around and play again [Pre-Chorus] My knees are shaking But I'm staying here I see my whole life From a new frontier [Chorus] Break the night! Let the windows shake I've got a voice And I've got something to say Turn it loud! Let the first chord fly I've been waiting for a perfect moment Now I'm making one tonight [Bridge] I used to think the door was closing Every time another year went by Now there's a kid beside the mixing desk Throwing both hands to the sky Maybe we won't fill a stadium Maybe this is all we'll ever play But hear those voices singing back to us Who could take this night away? [Guitar Solo] [Breakdown] One more song! One more song! Keep that kick drum rolling on! [Final Chorus] Break the night! Let the windows shake We found our voices And we've got something to say Turn it loud! Let the last chord fly We were waiting for a perfect moment Now we're making one tonight Break the night! Raise your hands up high Let that old guitar keep ringing Till the morning fills the sky [Outro] The last note fades We stand and smile "Same time next week?" "Yeah. Same time."
