Turn On The Lights

Billy came from a long line of shadetree mechanics
Arm like a rocket taking off left-handed
Never knew his mama, but he kept her bandana

Spiral through the tire, he was always playing
Round bale backstop even in the rain and
Every September he would wake up saying

Turn on the lights
Turn on the lights
Light me up like a lone star on Friday night
Fourth and one
Come on, let me run
I been waiting for this moment for all my life
So turn on the lights

There ain't much to do in a water tower town
'Cept haul a little hay and wonder how to get out
And dream about the fall when the sun goes down

Turn on the lights
Turn on the lights
Light me up like a lone star on Friday night
Fourth and one
Come on, let me run
I been waiting for this moment for all my life
So turn on the lights

Every now and then, I see a glow in the distance
Barely hear the band, but I hometown miss it
I think about Billy, hope he big-time did it

Turn on the lights (turn on the lights)
Turn on the lights
Light me up like a lone star on Friday night
Fourth and one (yeah, turn on the lights)
Come on, let me run (come on, let me run)
I been waiting for this moment for all my life
So turn on the lights

(Turn on the lights)
Turn on the lights
Turn on the lights
