From the recording After The Party (Live)
Lyrics
Grew up on gravel, dust in my veins
That canyon called me through the pouring rain
Daddy’s Tele, Mama’s prayers kept me strong
Chasing sunsets with the boys where we belong
Carved our names in red rock, swore we’d never leave
Now the road keeps pulling, but my heart believes
Years roll by, headlights glow
Something pulls me back, I already know
After the party, we’re coming home tonight
Canyon lights calling under moonlight
After the laughter, after last call
We stand on the edge and we give it our all
Who we were, who we are, it feels so right
After the party… we’re coming home tonight
Home tonight, home tonight!
Twenty years running, neon and broken dreams
Still got my guitar and these faded jeans
Road brought me back where the river sings low
One look at that canyon and I’m ready to go
Same red walls, same burning stars
Healing every scar
After the party, we’re coming home tonight
Canyon lights calling under moonlight
After the laughter, after last call
We stand on the edge and we give it our all
Who we were, who we are, it feels so right
After the party… we’re coming home tonight
Home tonight, home tonight!
Canyon don’t forget, holds my name in stone
Every mile I ran, I was never alone
After the party, we’re coming home tonight
Hands on the wheel, hearts open wide
After the laughter, after last call
We sing it loud, we give it our all
Who we were, who we are, it feels so right
After the party… we’re coming home tonight
Home tonight! Home tonight!
Names in red, river knows…
We’re coming home tonight
