Running free on Friday nights all over again Getting into trouble and laughing all over again (ALL OVER AGAIN!) We're running through the street Along with the summer heat Nothing could bring me down When I'm dancing to that rock n' roll sound When I got you by my side I feel so alive So don't worry about how we're getting home 'Cause if we wake up alive we'll have plenty of time to figure all that out tomorrow Tonight, tonight I wanna do it all All over again Running down the boulevard all over again Hanging at the same old places all over (ALL OVER AGAIN!) The sun is going down It's time for the boys to come out There's no place that I'd rather be Than here with you in this city We got miles to run and I'm still feeling young... So don't worry about how we're getting home 'Cause if we wake up alive we'll have plenty of time to figure all that out tomorrow Tonight, tonight I wanna do it all All over again

Empty Blues 02:12
Sitting alone and my mind starts racin' and my heart starts beatin away. There's nothin new for me to be doin and I have nothin new to say. Then I see my baby, shes so damn pretty and the love we got is so true. But even though I'm here with her, I just can't seem to shake these empty blues. That old void feeling is so damn absolute... Out with everybody, just havin a blast and it hits me like a ton of bricks. I feel those blues start creepin on and its hard to keep up my wits. Baby I know I told you already, but I'm gonna tell you one more time... If I don't learn to shake these blues you know I'm gonna lose my mind. my minds goin numb and everythings askew I try to shake it off but it aint no use... Runnin so fast but the pain ensues... I cant take it no more, you better ready the noose because my minds goin numb and everythings askew I try to shake it off but it aint no use Runnin so fast but the pain ensues Girl you gotta help me shake these empty blues

Darling I'm weak, because of you Can't eat or sleep, because of you Nothing to give, because of you Don't want to live, because of you Well you went and ripped my heart in two And now there's nothing I can do Empty inside, because of you Just wanna die, because of you Can't laugh, can't smile, because of you Nothings worthwhile, because of you When you walked out that day I didn't know what to say I didn't mean to let you down I really believed that you liked me around I just wish I knew what to do But I know that I can't handle the truth Everythings been outta control Since you stole the only heart I own, (and left me here all alone) Can't take this pain, please come back Promise I'll change, just please come back I've got no place to be, I'm here on my knees Girl, hear my pleas, I'm begging you

when you got back in town it felt like itd been so long (so long since i seen you) but we caught up quick and started singing all those old songs (every word we still knew) those nights out on the town wernt the same without you laughin and talkin while the time just seemed to fly (now it time to get ready to go) playin old records real loud to kick start the night (baby turn up that ol rock n roll) a few sips from that bottle and we were feelin fine and i dont ever wanna stop cause nights like these are all i got (theres no time to grow up) i could never forget all those nights we spent every good time that i had well i had it with you so we finally decided to hit those city streets (well theres a couple places that i know) runnin round downtown its like we never missed a beat (we had no time for feelin low) with no destination we knew just where to go theres a place around here where we can see some friends (see some friends that we used to know) yeah inside here the good times never seem to end (they only grow, more and more) well im so glad that youre back in town again when the sun came up we were still alive gettin our kicks, somehow we survived through night full of laughter, mischief, and when youre back in town i cant wait to do it again

Up All Night 03:35
Another night you know I'm going crazy Another night I tear myself apart for you baby Another night and I just can't take it Another heartbreak I can't escape it Can't seem to get myself outta bed Can't seem to get you outta my head Girl, you know I was up all night Just trying to think of ways to make this right I beat myself all black and blue Just trying to figure out how to get you... back Another night I set myself up to take the fall Another night banging my head on the wall Another night and I'm falling apart Whys every day gotta be so hard Can't seem to get myself outta bed Can't seem to get you outta my head Another night and everything’s the same Another night drinking til I don't know my name Another night and it's all too much Another drink aint ever enough To make me forget the words you said Why can't I get you outta my head? I've been up all night Trying to close my eyes I've been up all night And I still ain't right I've been up all night...
