Where are you tonight?
[Intro] [Guitar and banjo pluck together from opening melody] [Added by gypsy fiddle] Verse 1 He said, "Hey darling, where have you been tonight? You're shining like a Texas neon light." She smiled softly, said, "Boy, don't you know? My heart's been yours for a long time." He held her hand by the old living room, Two wild hearts and a silver moon. She laughed softly, [She alone]: "Don't let me go," He whispered, [He alone]: "Baby, never." [Over to country-pop first chorus] Chorus: [Both] Oh, ride with me through the midnight sky, Two hearts burning like Independence Day. You and I until the rivers run dry, Side by side, just you and I. She said, [she alone]: "Hold me close, don't say goodbye," He said, [he alone] "Forever, girl, I'll always try." [Both in two voices] Like a country song on a small-town night, We keep dancing until the morning light. [Back to country rock with emphasis on drums and bass] Verse 2 She said, [she] "Cowboy, do you dream like me? Of old front porches and sweet memories?" He lifted his hat and said, [he] "Every day, When you're by my side all the way." [Backing vocals] The record played that southern sound, Boots kept tapping on the wooden floor. She stole a kiss, his heart flew, Two lonely souls holding tight. [Country Rock with Broken Brass] Chorus: Oh, ride with me through the midnight sky, Two hearts burning like Independence Day. You and I until the rivers run dry, Side by side, just you and I. She said, "Hold me close, don't say goodbye," He said, "Forever, girl, I'll always try." Like a country song in a small-town night, We keep dancing until the morning light. [Bridge] [Banjo and classical guitar accompany this verse] Verse 3 Now the sunrise paints the open road gold, Their love stays warmer than the cold. She said, "Promise me your heart will stay true," He smiled, "Girl, it's yours." Through stormy winds and pouring rain, They'll choose each other again. One sweet love, steady and strong, Like an old guitar's eternal song. [Full orchestra joins in for final chorus] [Two male and female voices sing final chorus] [Everyone sings along with happy voices] Final chorus: "Oh, ride with me through the midnight sky, Two hearts burning like American Independence Day. You and I until the rivers run dry, Side by side, just you and I." She said, "Hold me close, don't say goodbye," He said, "Forever, girl, I'll always try." Like a country song on a small-town night, We keep dancing until the morning light." [Outro][Happy and romantic]
