Girls Night

[BACK TO LYRICS LIST]

We rolled up laughing, heels a little too high
Under a neon buzz like a low-rent sky
Bartender’s grinning, yeah, he’s seen the show
But he don’t know the miles that we’re trying to let go

Hair’s down, hearts heavy, but we’re ready to break
Every chain of the mistakes we’re tired of trying to make
We ain’t looking for a savior or a man to see
We’re just hunting for the women we used to be

We ain’t here for trouble, just a little bit of grace
And a shot of something strong just to leave this place
The jukebox is screaming and the room’s getting tight
But we’re finally breathing for the first time tonight

It’s a girls night one shot, two shots, three shots, four
We’re dancing like our feet don’t touch the floor
Laughing ‘bout the wreckage, taking one more round
Letting every heavy secret fall to the ground
Yeah, we’re shining like gold under barroom lights
Washing off the week on a girls night

My best friend’s yelling, tell ‘em play our song
Screaming every lyric, yeah, we’re singing it wrong
Snap a few pictures we can blame on the gin
And remind each other we’re better than the sins we’re in
We’re toasting to the bastards and the heartbreak war
And the “not-enough” ghosts we ain’t chasing no more

No crowns, no rules, no doing it right
Just the smoke and the soul and the mood tonight
We’re trading our shadows for a little bit of sun
Ain’t it funny how the healing feels like having some fun

It’s a girls night one shot, two shots, three shots, four
We’re dancing like our feet don’t touch the floor
Laughing ‘bout the wreckage, taking one more round
Letting every heavy secret fall to the ground
Yeah, we’re shining like gold under barroom lights
Washing off the week on a girls night

Maybe tomorrow we’ll feel the spin
Maybe tomorrow the world lets the cold back in
But right now we’re alive in our skin
Sometimes the medicine is just a Friday night
With your sisters in the dark, looking for the light

Yeah, it’s a girls night one shot, two shots, three shots, four
We ain’t looking for trouble, but we’re pouring some more
Raising up a glass to how far we’ve come
And the battle-scarred beauty of just having some fun
Under these neon lights, We own this girls night

Yeah, we own it
Let the heavy things fall
