Midnight Jukebox Serenade

Lyrics

Friday night, Friday night, paycheck in my hand, Old Ford shining like a brand-new man, Got my boots on, got my radio loud, Rolling down Main Street with the windows down. Saw that girl standing underneath the neon light, Blue jeans, white shirt, looking just right, She smiled at me and I knew somehow, We were gonna paint the whole town tonight. Chorus So give me one more night in this town, Turn that jukebox up and let the needle spin around, Let the fiddle cry and the steel guitar sing, Let tomorrow worry about tomorrow’s things. We’ve got a tank of gas and nowhere to be, A little bit of heaven underneath these Tennessee skies, So give me one more night, one more round, One more night in this town. Verse 2 We danced till midnight at the old dance hall, Everybody laughing, having a ball, She whispered, “Don’t let this night ever end,” So we jumped in the truck and started driving again. Past the water tower, past the county line, Stars were shining like diamonds in the sky, She put her hand right into mine, And I knew I’d remember that moment for all my life. Chorus So give me one more night in this town, Turn that jukebox up and let the needle spin around, Let the fiddle cry and the steel guitar sing, Let tomorrow worry about tomorrow’s things. We’ve got a tank of gas and nowhere to be, A little bit of heaven underneath these Tennessee skies, So give me one more night, one more round, One more night in this town. Bridge Years go by and people change, But some memories never fade away, Every time I hear that old fiddle play, I’m seventeen again on a Saturday. Final Chorus So give me one more night in this town, Turn that jukebox up and let the whole place shake the ground, Let the fiddle fly and the steel guitar cry, Let those old country dreams come back to life. We’ve got a little bit of youth left in our hearts, And tonight we’re gonna make another memory start, So give me one more night, one more round, One more night in this town!
