We look around in this place we live
We both know we've got no way out
Every time I see your face I know I've let you down
I used to work every hour god sends
Ah baby those were the days to remember
Now I just sit with the TV blasting our glory songs
I tried so hard to make you happy
But it all just seemed to fade away
I got nothing left to give you anymore
And when the lights go down
We'll take the radio out on the back porch
We'll dance real slow
'Til all this world just disappears
Remеmber back when we wеre young and free
Back when we cradled our hopes and our dreams
Every day we lived was for each other babe
I see your face in the morning sun now
And wonder what this day will bring
One day I'll make it all just like it used to be
Because I still believe we can make it somehow
I still believe in the love we have
We're gonna have it all just like it used to be
And when the lights go down
We'll take the radio out on the back porch
We'll dance real slow
'Til all this world just disappears
And when the lights go down
We'll take the radio out on the back porch
We'll dance real slow
'Til all this world just disappears
And when the lights go down
We'll take the radio out on the back porch
We'll dance real slow
'Til all this world just disappears

The producer, David Mackay, said the following: “Steve Womack sent me his demo, and the moment I heard it, I could hear Bonnie singing it. As usually happens between myself and Steve, we went back and forth making changes before I started on the track.”
“Like most rock music fans, I absolutely love Bruce Springsteen and Rod Stewart records. When I heard the demo for ‘When the Lights Go Down,“ which was written specially for me by Steve Womack, I felt it had the magic I hear in my favorite Bruce and Rod songs. When we got in the studio, everyone inv...
The song was recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic. The producer, David Mackay, said: “Because of lockdown, I started laying down a basic track here at home using Steve’s rhythm guitar.
