Jukebox
The Summer Set Lyrics

Life goes on
No matter what happens, time keeps moving forward.

We got all night
We have plenty of time to enjoy ourselves and make memories.

If you got rock and roll
Rock and roll music has the power to uplift and carry you through tough times.

You're gonna be alright
As long as you have rock and roll, you can get through anything.

Friday night at the bar
A typical night of hanging out with friends at a local bar.

Where everybody knows my name
A comfortable and familiar environment where the singer is a regular.

And I don't know what she's doing here
The singer is surprised to see a woman he doesn't recognize at the bar.

But I'm glad she came
Despite the surprise, the artist is happy to have a new person to talk to.

From her cowboy boots
Describing the woman's attire and style.

Up to her little black dress

I need a Jameson shot of confidence

And I'll let her do the rest

I really like The Stones and I hate TV

Well I must confess

I'm a little obsessed with Dawson's Creek

Yeah I know what you're thinking

Can I buy you a drink?

Then she said life goes on

So give me one more drink

And play my favorite song

Put a quarter in the jukebox

And sing along

Last call on the round

And now I'm seeing stars

We're invincible
Despite feeling drunk and silly, the artist and the woman feel like they can conquer the world together.

Don't matter who you are
The artist believes that everyone can feel this sense of invincibility and fun when they have the right attitude and environment.

Well a tattooed biker
Describing another patron at the bar, who has a tough exterior but is also enjoying himself.

And the bartender got into a fight
A humorous scene in which the normally calm and professional bartender gets caught up in the fun and starts acting out of character.

Then they both sang along
Despite the argument, the biker and the bartender joined together in singing along to a song they both enjoyed.

To a Springsteen song
Highlighting the type of music that can bring people of different backgrounds and personalities together.

'Cause life goes on
Repeating the overarching message of the song that people should enjoy themselves and not take life too seriously.

If you got a drink put it in the air
Inviting everyone to raise their glasses and join in the celebration.

here's a toast cause we just don't care
Emphasizing the carefree and fun attitude that defines the song.

If you got a voice then sing
Encouraging everyone to join in and share their energy and enthusiasm.

'Cause life goes on and on and on [x2]
Repeating the song's final message that life is short and people should enjoy themselves as much as possible.
