We Are Tonight
Billy Currington Lyrics

Ooh
The opening word of the song that sets the tone for a fun summer night.

Summer comin' through a rolled down window
The feeling of summer is in the air with the car window down and the breeze blowing in.

Tearin' down an almost two lane back road
Driving down a rural road with a sense of freedom and excitement.

Freedom and fireflies in the air
The freedom of youth mixed with the natural beauty of summer.

The night's still young, never gonna get old
There's still so much time to make the most of the night and enjoy life to the fullest.

Livin' for today like there's no tomorrow
Being present and living life in the moment, without worrying about what the future may hold.

Follow the grooves, the tires in the grass
Letting the journey and adventure lead the way rather than having a specific destination in mind.

Stayin' on the gas like we're never comin' back
Driving fast and never looking back, fully embracing the sense of freedom and adventure that comes with youth.

It's a Friday night, it's a small town girl
The classic setting of a small town on a Friday night where anything can happen.

Everything is right and we rule the world
In the moment everything seems perfect, and a sense of invincibility sets in.

2 twelve's in the truck back, beating
Loud music coming from the car's sound system creating the perfect ambiance for the night.

A bunch of rock stars on a riverbank singing,
The atmosphere of the night feels like a rock concert and everyone is singing along.

Whoa, whoa, everything, whoa, whoa, everything we wanna be
The chorus of the song summarizing the sentiment of the night and the desire to live life to the fullest.

We are, we are, we are tonight
The phrase repeated multiple times in the chorus reinforces the idea that this night is memorable and special.

Swayin' back-n-forth, can't you feel the music?
The music is so great that everyone is swaying and moving to the beat.

Time stands still, I don't wanna lose it
In these moments, time seems to lose its importance and everyone wants to make the most of them.

Her tan, her touch, her laugh
All the little things that make this night with a special person so memorable and romantic.

Were flyin' so high like we're never gonna crash
The sense of being invincible and living life without fear of any repercussions.

Toes in the grass with our hands up high
The feeling of sensuality and freedom barefoot in the grass with arms raised to the sky.

Dream as big as a midnight sky
The idea of hope and aspiration encouraged to set the bar high and aim for the stars.

So untamed and we're so alive tonight
Feeling uninhibited and free in the moment.

Yeah we are, we are, we are tonight
Repeating the reminder that tonight is special and worthy of cherishing forever.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
A final exclamation reinforcing the experience of the night and leaving a lasting memory.
