The Story Behind The Song

[Verse 1]
You might sing along
With your lighter up in the air
With the radio on, at the top of your lungs
With the wind in your hair
You might know it by heart, every word
And cry every time it comes on
But you don't know how it feels
To be the story behind the song

[Chorus]
It ain't a slow dance
It ain't just three chords and a rhyme
Just a number one request on a midnight DJ line
It's just a [?] in a jukebox
Heaven knows it costs so much more
When you're the story behind the song

[Verse 2]
You're lying awake
On the lonely side of the bed
It's being the one who's got to stay strong
On the sober side of wasted
If you've given your love to kind of someone
Who don't know what they got 'til it's gone
You might know how it feels
To be the story behind the song

[Chorus]
It ain't a slow dance
It ain't just three chords and a rhyme
Just a number one request on a midnight DJ line
It's just a [?] in a jukebox
Heaven knows it costs so much more
When you're the story behind the song

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
It ain't a slow dance
It ain't just three chords and a rhyme
Just a number one request on a midnight DJ line
It's just a [?] in a jukebox
Heaven knows it costs so much more
When you're the story behind the song

[Outro]
When you're the story behind the song
