[Verse 1]
Red sky fading, let’s do this right
What you’re drinking’s what I’m drinking, who’s got a light?
We ’bout to kickoff this 9 to 5 from dusk til dawn
Man, it’s on

CFL on TSN
Music’s playing, yeah we’re swaying, crank it to 10
These stars are falling like confetti, so wish on one
'Fore they’re gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Third and one from the gun
Underneath those Thursday night lights
Singing long live the night

[Chorus]
It’s a song coming on, one that everyone knows
It’s a pass, it’s a run, it’s a see where it goes
It’s the guys and the girls under those stadium lights
Singing long live the night

All the beers and the years gonna fly on by
We’re just small town stars holding on to midnight
So take a sip, this is it, raise ’em on up real high
Singing long live the night
[Verse 2]
Full moon rising, we ain’t there yet
Every minute’s a memory so drink it in
Before you know it’s over man it flies by fast
Make it last

[Pre-Chorus]
Make the most, coast to coast
Doing football on a Thursday right
Singing long live the night

[Chorus]
It’s a song coming on, one that everyone knows
It’s a pass, it’s a run, it’s a see where it goes
It’s the guys and the girls under those stadium lights
Singing long live the night

All the beers and the years gonna fly on by
We’re just small town stars holding on to midnight
So take a sip, this is it, raise ’em on up real high
Singing long live the night

[Bridge]
Third and one from the gun
Underneath those Thursday night lights
Singing long live the night
[Chorus]
It’s a song coming on, one that everyone knows
It’s a pass, it’s a run, it’s a see where it goes
It’s the guys and the girls under those stadium lights
Singing long live the night

All the beers and the years gonna fly on by
We’re just small town stars holding on to midnight
So take a sip, this is it, raise ’em on up real high
Singing long live the night
