Alright…
You know there's a bar I keep comin' back to…
I won't say the name —
but some of you already know the one.
Screen door that won't close all the way.
Bartender remembers what you're havin'
before you even sit down.
And no matter when I show up…
somehow the same faces are already there.
Now we all walked in sayin' the same thing —
"just one or two tonight."
…Yeah. That lasted about forty-five minutes.
Because some nights something just happens.
Right people, right hour, music hits right —
next thing you know it's way too late to leave…
and nobody's even tryin'.
If you're havin' one of those nights right now —
and I think you are —
don't you dare look at your watch.
Let's raise 'em up again.
Same old crew
at the same beach bar,
Some a little late —
some drove a bit too far.
Couple new faces —
couple that stayed,
Couple we swore
we'd never lose along the way.
Said we'd leave… 'bout an hour ago,
Now we're leanin' in —
ain't nobody goin' home.
Right here, right now —
we're all in again,
Like nothin's changed…
and it never did end.
Raise 'em up again —
don't let the night end now,
This is one of those nights —
you don't turn down.
One more round —
yeah, we're all in,
Raise 'em up…
raise 'em up again.
There's a song
somebody just called out,
Whole damn bar —
Couple hands up —
couple stompin' feet,
Now the whole damn bar
ain't stayin' in their seats.
Bartender grinnin' —
said "same as before?"
Slides another round —
we all ask for more.
Screen door bangin' —
won't stay shut,
Whole damn place —
just fired right up.
Said we'd leave… 'bout an hour ago,
Now we're leanin' in —
ain't nobody goin' home.
Raise 'em up again —
don't let the night end now,
This is one of those nights —
you don't turn down.
One more round —
yeah, we're all in,
Raise 'em up…
raise 'em up again.
We ain't chasin'
what we used to be,
Just right here —
yeah this is all we need.
Table's sticky —
beer's gone flat,
But nights like this —
you don't get back.
Raise 'em up again —
don't let the night end now,
This is one of those nights —
you don't turn down.
Raise 'em up again —
while we're all still here,
Same old crew —
ain't gettin' younger here.
One more round —
let it roll on in,
Raise 'em up…
raise 'em up again.
Raise 'em up…
while we're all still here…
Raise 'em up again.
