Alright. I'm gonna say something and I want y'all to tell me if it's true.
You didn't plan to be here tonight.
…
Maybe you did. But the best part —
the part that's gonna stick with you —
you didn't plan that.
…
Look around for a second.
…
I know these people.
Do you know these people?
…
Yeah. That's what I thought.
Let's go.
Guy in the back been here since noon
Still goin' strong like he always do
Girl by the water, feet in the sand
Dancin' like nobody told her she can't
Cooler rolled in like it knew the way
Chairs pulled together for the end of the day
Sunburned, buzzed, nobody's wrong
Kinda night you don't think too long
These are my people
Right here, right now — no plan, no reason
Same kind of crazy that raised us up
Sunburned and exactly right
Known 'em all my life or just met 'em tonight
These are my people
Same old story, heard it before
Still got everybody askin' for more
Guitar with only a couple good strings
Still sounds better than most things
Salt in the air, sand on the floor
Don't need a reason, just one more pour
Mike rolled in like he always does
Didn't say nothin' — just one of us
These are my people
Right here, right now — no plan, no reason
Same kind of crazy that raised us up
Sunburned and exactly right
Known 'em all my life or just met 'em tonight
These are my people
Ain't got a name for it, don't need one
Just know it when it shows up
You just know 'em when you're standing next to 'em
That's all it ever takes
Alright — before this last part —
I need everybody in here to look at the person next to 'em.
Left side, right side, doesn't matter.
…
If they look like they've been here since noon —
if they look like they rolled in like they always do —
if they look like they don't need a reason, they just show up —
…
Then you already know what I'm about to say.
These are your people.
This last part belongs to all of you.
These are my people
Right here, right now — no plan, no reason
Same kind of crazy that raised us up
Sunburned and exactly right
Known 'em all my life or just met 'em tonight
These are my people
Yeah — these are my people
These are my people — (Crowd: these are my people)
These are my people — (Crowd: these are my people)
