[ANNOUNCER] “ARE YOU READY?!” [The crowd erupts.] [ANNOUNCER] “NASHVILLE… make some noise for the one… the only…” [Drums begin pounding slowly.] [CROWD] “SHARKBAIT! SHARKBAIT! SHARKBAIT! SHARKBAIT!” [Thousands of voices lock together, louder and louder.] [CROWD] “SHARK-BAIT! SHARK-BAIT! SHARK-BAIT! SHARK-BAIT!” [The stage lights explode on. Guitar feedback rings out.] [ANNOUNCER] “LET ME HEAR YOU!” [CROWD] “SHARKBAIT! SHARKBAIT! SHARKBAIT!” [Band hits the opening chord. Fire and lights erupt across the stage.] [LEAD VOCALS] “LET'S LIGHT THIS PLACE UP!” [FULL BAND KICKS IN. LEAD VOCALS] “Y'all ready to raise a little hell tonight?” [Crowd erupts.] [BAND] BOOM! — CRASH! [VERSE 1] I came from a little dirt road, Where the trucks roll loud and the wild winds blow, Had a six-string dream and a heart full of fire, Now I'm standing on this stage taking it higher. From the backwoods nights to the city lights, We worked all day just to live this life, Now there's fifty thousand voices singing along, And every one of 'em knows this song. [PRE-CHORUS] So turn those lights up, Let the whole world see, Tonight ain't about one name— It's about you and me! [CHORUS — HUGE ARENA SING-ALONG] WE'RE GONNA RAISE THE ROOF TONIGHT! LET THAT SOUTHERN THUNDER ROLL! Hands in the air, hearts on fire, Feel that rhythm in your soul! FROM THE FRONT ROW TO THE CHEAP SEATS, LET ME HEAR YOU SING IT LOUD! This ain't just another concert— WE'RE ONE HELL OF A CROWD! [POST-CHORUS — CROWD] SHARK-BAIT! SHARK-BAIT! SHARK-BAIT! SHARK-BAIT! [VERSE 2] There's a girl dancing underneath the lights, Cowboy boots kicking through the night, Old men smiling, young hearts free, Everybody's right where they're supposed to be. Fiddle screaming, six-string burning, Drummer pounding while the wheels keep turning, From the first guitar to the final note, We're gonna shake this stadium to its bones. [PRE-CHORUS] So turn those lights up, Let the whole world see, Tonight ain't about one name— It's about you and me! [CHORUS — BIGGER] WE'RE GONNA RAISE THE ROOF TONIGHT! LET THAT SOUTHERN THUNDER ROLL! Hands in the air, hearts on fire, Feel that rhythm in your soul! FROM THE FRONT ROW TO THE CHEAP SEATS, LET ME HEAR YOU SING IT LOUD! This ain't just another concert— WE'RE ONE HELL OF A CROWD! [BRIDGE — MUSIC DROPS OUT] [Only acoustic guitar and crowd ambience.] [LEAD VOCALS] “Nashville… are you still with me?” [CROWD] “YEAHHHH!” [LEAD VOCALS] “I said… ARE YOU STILL WITH ME?!” [CROWD] “YEAHHHHHH!” [Drums slowly build.] [LEAD VOCALS] “Then sing this one with me!” [FINAL CHORUS — FULL BAND + CROWD] WE'RE GONNA RAISE THE ROOF TONIGHT! LET THAT SOUTHERN THUNDER ROLL! Hands in the air, hearts on fire, Feel that rhythm in your soul! FROM THE FRONT ROW TO THE CHEAP SEATS, LET ME HEAR YOU SING IT LOUD! This ain't just another concert— WE'RE ONE HELL OF A CROWD! [OUTRO — CROWD CHANT] [CROWD] “SHARKBAIT! SHARKBAIT! SHARKBAIT! SHARKBAIT!” [Band hits one enormous final chord.] [LEAD VOCALS] “THANK YOU! GOOD NIGHT!”
