At first, it may seem that the “lights of his hometown” simply refer to the lights of the buildings that come on when it gets dark.
The lights actually seem to be an interesting way to describe the things that happen at night: the mainstreet’s red taillights, the summer stars when you’re in the woo...
[Intro]
You know the lights of my hometown
They come alive when the sun goes down
[Verse 1]
We got the 50-yard line on a Friday night
Mainstreet drag lined up with red taillights
And the dashboard glow from the radio
Kick your console back, pull your girl real close
Got the summer stars out in the backwoods
Got the windows down, make it feel so good
To lock your high beams in on a mud hole
If you're where I'm from, then you damn sure know
[Chorus 1]
About the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
Talking about the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
[Verse 2]
Oh yeah, we hold our lighters up if it's a good song
Little Lynyrd Skynyrd got you singing along
We pour some gasoline on a pile of wood
Just a little too much will make it burn real good
We got the moonshine, I'm talking both kinds
Have you seeing, double-staring at them tan lines
Yeah, we throwing down until the cops come
See the blue lights flash, boys, it's time to run
[Chorus 1]
About the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
Talking about the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
[Bridge]
Light a flashlight on a tombstone
Let your best friend know that he ain't alone
Go and pop a top, pour a little out
Just to let him know we're still thinking about him
[Chorus 2]
Man, the lights of our hometown
He almost comes alive when the sun goes down
I'm talking about the lights of our hometown
He almost comes alive when the sun goes down
[Chorus 1]
About the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
Talking about the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
[Verse 3]
Yeah, we got the 50-yard line on a Friday night
And Main Street drag lined up with red taillights
Hell yeah, we hold our lighters up
We hold our lighters up
Yeah, we hold our lighters up when the sun goes down
Let me see them lighters
[Outro]
Talking about the lights of my hometown
They come alive when, yeah, they come alive
When the sun goes down
