Tonight's the Kind of Night

There's a boy with this head

Pressed up to the window

Of a bus headed out of town

His breath on the glass

He draws with his finger

A map of the roads they go down

The circles of street lights

The only signal

There's people out there in the black

He waves goodbye, the town he grew up in

Knows that he'll never come back

Oh, but the night outside is five below

His is heart is pumping blood

On his lips, a perfect smile

His eyes begin to flood

'Cause tonight's the kind of night

Where everything could change

Tonight's the kind of night

Where everything could change

And the rumble strip clack

And the rattling frame

Beat out a pulse on his head

And the engine hums a humble tune

A melody of rubber and lead

Under lamp light glow

And paradise stars

An infinity of dancing white light

He sees that his debt

Is to experience only

And not to those who'd plan out his life

Oh, but the night outside is five below

The moon is in the sky

His heart is full of perfect joy

He whispers his goodbye

'Cause tonight's the kind of night

Where everything could change

Tonight's the kind of night

Where everything could change

And tonight he's not gonna come back home

Oh, tonight he's not gonna come back home

Oh, tonight he's not gonna come back home

Oh

Oh

Oh, tonight's the kind of night

Where everything could change

Tonight's the kind of night

Where everything could change

Tonight's the kind of night (Tonight's the kind of night)

Where everything could change (Everything could change)

Tonight's the kind of night (Tonight's the kind of night)

Where everything could change (Everything could change)
