People singing, taking chances.
Palms sweating, hearts thumping.
Will I be good or will I bomb?
Most don't care, full of booze.
Food and good friends all around
Country, jazz and rock.
All sounds coming out tonight.
take a chance.
Be a star. Even for a one moment.
Shaking once it is over, anticipating the next time.
therapy for some, release for others.
Fears, desperation and heartbreak seem to all disappear.
Fading in a flow of emotions too long contained.
Sweet, sweet freedom.
Taking you back in time to days of yore.
Or helping you back to the present.
May the music never stop in the heart of us all.
