Lyrics

"Dancin and Drinkin (After Midnight)"

Music/Lyrics by JK Wilson

Verse
They say nothin' good ever happens after the clock strikes twelve
Old folks say lettin' your hair down shouldn't be allowed
But as time goes by, that older crowd conveniently forgets
Tellin' us the single biggest thing they all most regret

Chorus
They'd do way more
Dancin' and drinkin' after midnight
When the respectable crowd's all in bed
Dancin' and drinkin' after midnight
Man, they wish they could do it all again

Verse
It ain't that they're jealous or trying to ruin anyone's good old time
They just catch themselves sometimes acting old and past their prime
Give 'em a drink or two, and they'll surprise you, wait and see
Every heart's still beatin' strong, longing to be free

Chorus
Dancin' and drinkin' after midnight
When the respectable crowd's all in bed
Dancin' and drinkin' after midnight
Man, they wish they could do it all again

Bridge
Remind 'em of the times they had that were the best
Still lots of time for them to raise way more hell than heck

With every clap and stomp on that wooden floor
Those old folks will remember what they used to adore

Verse
In the glow of neon lights and the rumble of the band
They'll throw caution to the wind, dance together hand in hand
No more sitting on the sidelines, they'll kick up some dust
Fearless hearts ignited; it's a midnight must

Chorus
Dancin' and drinkin' after midnight
When the respectable crowd's all in bed
Dancin' and drinkin' after midnight
Man, they wish they could do it all again

Break
So young, wild, and free beneath the stars up high
With every laugh and memory shared, it's a glorious high
Let's sway to the rhythm under moonlit skies
Old souls rejuvenated, see the spark in their eyes

Chorus
Dancin' and drinkin' after midnight
When the respectable crowd's all in bed
Dancin' and drinkin' after midnight
Man, they wish they could do it all again
