Lyrics
You know the lights of my hometown
They come alive when the sun goes down
We got the 50-yard line on a Friday night
Main street drag lined up with red taillights
And the dashboard glow from the radio
Kick your console back, pull your girl real close
Got the summer stars out in the backwoods
Got them windows down, make it feel so good
To lock your high beams in on a mud hole
If you're where I'm from, man, you damn sure know
'Bout the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
Talking 'bout the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
We hold our lighters up if it's a good song
A little Lynyrd Skynyrd got you singing along
We pour some gasoline on a pile of wood
Just a little too much will make it burn real good
We got the moonshine, I'm talking both kinds
Have you seeing, double-staring at them tan lines
Yeah, we throwing down until the cops come
When the blue lights flash, boys, it's time to run
You know the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
Talking 'bout the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
Light a flashlight on a tombstone
Let your best friend know that he ain't alone
Go on and pop a top, pour a little out
Just to let him know we're still thinkin' about him
Man, the lights of our hometown
He almost comes alive when the sun goes down
I'm talkin' 'bout the lights of our hometown
He almost comes alive when the sun goes down
Talkin' 'bout the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
I'm talkin' 'bout the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive, yeah, they come alive
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down (sun goes down)
(Lights of my hometown)
Oh yeah, when the sun goes down
Yeah, hell, we got the 50-yard line on a Friday night
And the Main Street drag lined up with red taillights
Hell yeah, we hold our lighters up (lights of my hometown)
We hold our lighters up
Yeah, we hold our lighters up when the sun goes down
Let me see them lighters
'Cause I'm talkin' 'bout the lights of my hometown
They come alive, yeah, they come alive
When the sun goes down
