Fort Nightly
Come in, radio's on
and everyone's dacing around on the lawn
Father picks up his guitar
He's out there playing along
Young girls from out of state
Dancing their way on the china plates
Tearing apart all the drapes
Turning them all into gowns for their parade
And I want you to know, while you're singing out of tune
I'll be in the back, making eyes across the room
So, I guess if things go right
I could be out on the tiles all night
So put my name on your dance card
And usher me out to the yard where the band plays
And when it's over the lights are going out
Why don't you go home, these drinks are swimming in my head
And I don't think I can make upstairs to find a bed
So i sleep in my clothes again,
On the floor next to all my friends
And I wake up asking, what have I done
I'm kicking myself when the lights come back on
and everyone's dacing around on the lawn
Father picks up his guitar
He's out there playing along
Young girls from out of state
Dancing their way on the china plates
Tearing apart all the drapes
Turning them all into gowns for their parade
And I want you to know, while you're singing out of tune
I'll be in the back, making eyes across the room
So, I guess if things go right
I could be out on the tiles all night
So put my name on your dance card
And usher me out to the yard where the band plays
And when it's over the lights are going out
Why don't you go home, these drinks are swimming in my head
And I don't think I can make upstairs to find a bed
So i sleep in my clothes again,
On the floor next to all my friends
And I wake up asking, what have I done
I'm kicking myself when the lights come back on
