Lyrics
[Intro] Hey, hey—remember that sound? Pull up a chair, turn it around [Verse 1] At the maple street community hall June brought records in a paper bag Ray wore his old dance shoes again Mina laughed, “you still know the steps?” [Pre-Chorus] One tune, and the years roll back We trade the stories, we sing the facts [Chorus] Back when the nights ran wild and long We knew every word to every song Hands in the air, friends all around Still got that rhythm when the old tunes sound Hey! we’re here, we’re here tonight Passing the good years hand to hand [Verse 2] Frank told how he missed the last train Lena swore she danced through summer rain Someone brought a photo, bent at the side We laughed till the whole room joined in the ride [Pre-Chorus] One tune, and the years roll back We trade the stories, we sing the facts [Chorus] Back when the nights ran wild and long We knew every word to every song Hands in the air, friends all around Still got that rhythm when the old tunes sound Hey! we’re here, we’re here tonight Passing the good years hand to hand [Bridge] Names on the program, dates on the wall But when that chorus comes, we’re young after all No one needs a ticket, no one needs a plan Just your oldest friends and a song you understand [Final chorus] Back when the nights ran wild and long We knew every word to every song Hands in the air, friends all around Still got that rhythm when the old tunes sound Hey! we’re here, we’re here tonight Passing the good years hand to hand [Outro] One more song, then one more again Same old friends, still dancing, still friends
