Rock And Roll Nights

In a sweaty bar
In a formerly grand theater
At the local grass bowl or civic arena
The band kicks it off
The band kicks it off

We rise to our feet
Greeting the wall of sound with a roar of approval
A wall of guitars! Guitars!! Guitars!
And the band revs it up
The band revs it up

Tales of the outsiders
Tales of the cutters
The lost souls and junkies
And the power of music
The crowd cheers each one
And sings the sing along songs
I don't know the man
Or Craig Finn's big plan
But on a warm July night
I'm in for the ride

The band blows the roof off
We're back on the streets
Ears ringing loudly
The crowd all abuzz
Comparing to others and seeking the next beer
The communal ritual is over for now
Encore! Encore!
