Five guys in a station wagon barely held together

But the tanks full, red bull is keeping? us a buzzin? so far

Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t take it no more

When the lights go down and we hit the first chord
D
The girls start movin? cross the dance floor
G C
Well it sounds real good and feels even better

Rememberin? why we?re out here together

Forget we?re tired, forget the miles, look at us man, look at these smiles

To the next night in Waco and barely out of Texas

As bad as it gets, so far it ain?t gotten too bad

Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t take it no more
