(Verse 1) The midway lights are fading, the crowds are thinning out The dust has finally settled on what this was all about Ten days of wild and restless, ten days of being free But the greatest part of all of it was you here next to me. (Chorus) It was our last night, we held each other tight This was our slow dance, our hearts unite It grew from down in the dirt, the best ten days of my life And we’re gonna watch the sun come up tonight. (Verse 2) The rodeo is over, the grandstand’s gone to sleep But we’ve got all these memories that we’re gonna keep From the roar of the chuckwagons to the quiet of the stars It’s funny how a patch of ground can show you who you are. (Chorus) It was our last night, we held each other tight This was our slow dance, our hearts unite It grew from down in the dirt, the best ten days of my life And we’re gonna watch the sun come up tonight. (Bridge) The sky is turning purple, then a shade of golden rose That Alberta morning’s coming, yeah, that’s how the story goes We don’t need the music, just the rhythm of the dawn Keeping this feeling steady long after the party’s gone. (Guitar Solo) (Chorus) It was our last night, we held each other tight This was our slow dance, our hearts unite It grew from down in the dirt, the best ten days of my life And we’re gonna watch the sun come up tonight. (Outro) Yeah, we’re gonna see that sun... Best ten days of my life. Right here in the dirt. Just watching the light come up. (Fade out)
