Anthem
RHETT THOMAS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the beat that puts the fire in your feet
Gives you the license to be a little crazy
This is the groove that gives you swagger to move
And gets you talkin' real smooth to a lady
This is the hook that gets you givin' the look
That gets you gettin' the number in your pocket
This is the part where the bass gonna start
And even last call can't stop it

All night anthem
Ain't never gonna leave your head
All night anthem
Ain't nobody goin' to bed
'Til the drinks go down
And the sun comes up
The rhythm's gonna hold you for ransom
It's an all night anthem

And this is the verse where you don't know the words
And you don't give a damn 'cause it feels good
Put a whole generation in heavy rotation
Play it over and over and it's still good
This is the sound of a big little town
Just throwin' it down where the floor is
You startin' to feel the momentum build
So bring it on back to the chorus

All night Anthem
Ain't never gonna leave your head
All night anthem
Ain't nobody goin' to bed
'Til the drinks go down
And the sun comes up
The rhythm's gonna hold you for ransom
It's an all night anthem

This ain't about who's got money
And ain't about what kind of car you drive
This ain't about where you came from
And ain't how you're gettin' home tonight
This ain't about who's got money
And ain't about what kind of car you drive
This ain't about where you came from
It's about livin' while you're alive

All night anthem
Ain't never gonna leave your head
All night anthem
Ain't nobody goin' to bed
'Til the drinks go down
And the sun comes up
The rhythm's gonna hold you for ransom
It's an all night anthem

It's an all night anthem yeah, yeah
It's an all night anthem, baby




All night anthem
