Sunrise shining through the trees

The best things in life are free

Summertime cicadas sing

A perfect God-written melody

Dust clouds and gravel roads

Ball diamonds overgrown

The same fields where you played out

Every one of your dreams

Every day you’ve been

Waiting for the day when

You’re gonna get outta this old town

But when that day comes

To leave where you came from you’ll see

And you’re gonna realize

Those friday night lights that made you

Scream for the home team and halftime

marching band

With the friends you’re never getting rid of

Driving down streets that you know like the back

And one day you’ll wish you could be there

Late nights making memories in the dark

Some things were taken a little too far

Blue lights shining from that car

Jumping fences praying you don’t get caught

Made you feel like you’ll never love again

Years after you see her time and time again
Ain’t it funny how the world didn’t end

Those were the days when life made sense
G
When weekends felt like they’d never end
C
With a line in the water
F
Not a single care in the world
Am
When your biggest worry
Was getting home in a hurry
G
Before mama called
C
Saying it’s 2:30 a.m.
F
Where the hell have you been
[Chorus]

That this the town that raised you
C
Those friday night lights that made you

Scream for the home team and halftime

With the friends you’re never getting rid of
