lyrics

i'm going down down down to the firewater spring
it's been a long long day and well, i'm on the brink
i've been dragging round this ghost who says i owe him something
it's been a long long week and now he needs a drink
i've got a pretty good way for my weary bones to mend
and i've got a couple people on who i can depend
they all meet in a bar every wednesday at ten
and that's pretty good thing 'cause well, i need a friend

all we want is a song to sing along
i still hear nothing on the radio
just some bar room boys who know how to make some noise
i still hear nothing on the radio

the band's been on for hours there's no signs of slowing down
and chris is in the back shouting hey matt, play it loud
i've been running round for years trying to make it out of town
but hey man pour another one and yeah, i'll stick around

all we want is a song to sing along
i still hear nothing on the radio
just some bar room boys who know how to make some noise
i still hear nothing on the radio

everybody's coming round to see our downtown underground
the streets lined up to hear the sound and get a message in
it goes can you cure my maladies, i'm sure we got your remedies
the after party is down the street, i've got two tickets in
where it goes on and on like some old country song
i dare someone to say we're wrong
on and on like some old country song
or some place you've always belonged
it goes on and on like some old country song
you swore that you knew it all along
on and on like some old country song
i dare someone to say we're wrong

all we want is a song to sing along
i still hear nothing on the radio
just some bar room boys who know how to make some noise
i still hear nothing on the radio
all we want is a song to sing along
i still hear nothing on the radio
just some bar room boys so let's make some fucking noise
i still hear nothing on the radio
and that's fine
