And I love this song, too

When I hear this song, I can actually feel and smell summertime, and just the aliveness of it all... well, I have teared up while listening to this song, several times. lol I don't know why I like it so much but something about live music, and lots of people together, and a summer sky... gets me very happy.

They got 3 in the front and 4 in the back of a Civic
Camped out all night on the sidewalk just to get tickets
With their hands on the fence in the back by the buses and limousines
Just to get a glimpse of a drummer, or a singer, yeah anything

And they come from miles around
For the moment when the lights go out
And they screaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!!

It's the girls in the front row singing
It's the boys with the wheels that bring them
It's the lighters in the air, and you guys up there
You're the heart and the soul and the reason we do what we do
Here's to you!

There's a silver-tongued blond trying to sweet-talk her way backstage
There's a mom and a dad in the aisle, not acting their age
There's a wet corvette, red lipstick print on a Coors Light cup
Yeah, judging by the way she's dancing, I'd say she's had enough (ha ha...)

The guitars come alive
And you make us want to stay all night
And they screaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!

It's the girls in the front row singing
It's the boys with the wheels that bring them
It's the lighters in the air, and you guys up there
You're the heart and the soul
And the reason we do what we do
Here's to youuuuuu!

Oh yeah.... yeah here's to you
