One of us stepped in front of a train
Out of the blue, there was nothing he said
The word was out he'd been drinking alone
Lost his future for reasons unknown
One of us never learnt to let go
He learnt it young, the way his folks would show
One, two, three, always time for one more
He's got a child now, will he pass it on
Cheap beer, rock songs, Friday nights
Small boys with dreams of blind lights
Cheap beer, rock songs, Friday lights
How we dreamt of bright nights
A daughter's pain would not go away
8 years old, it won't be help if you pray
The diagnose, yeah, it starts with a C
But she's a fighter, stronger than you and me
Cheap beer, rock songs, Friday nights
Small boys with dreams of blind lights
Cheap beer, rock songs, Friday lights
How we dreamt of bright nights
This song's been sang a million times
And this is our rendition
A tradition we carry on
We still pick up our guitars
And plug them in and crank them up
And play our songs loud like we always have
Some of us survived and some didn't
Some lived ended, some are only beginning
We used to dream, never knowing what's next
That future's past, not quite what we expected
Cheap beer, rock songs, Friday nights
Small boys with dreams of blind lights
Cheap beer, rock songs, Friday lights
How we dreamt of bright nights
