Blue Lights on the Avenue

Lyrics

Blue lights on the avenueFlashing off the river blackEverybody got real quietWhen they saw who didn't come back

Dock smoke hanging heavyLike a secret in the airSomebody said it was nothingBut nothing don't end up there

One more drinkOne more dare

One more mouthThat didn't care

Now the whole town knowsWhat pride can doUnder blue lights on the avenue

Blue lights on the avenueSomebody took it way too farTruth came rolling down the roadLike sirens in the dark

No more laughingNo more gamesNo more hiding from the blameEverything looks differentUnder blue lights on the avenue

He was talking like thunderWith whiskey in his grinTrying to win a fightNobody asked him to win

She was standing by the waterTrying not to fall apartSome boys break a whole nightJust to prove they got a heart

One wrong wordOne hard shove

That ain't strengthThat ain't love

Now the whole town seesWhat anger can doUnder blue lights on the avenue

Blue lights on the avenueSomebody took it way too farTruth came rolling down the roadLike sirens in the dark

No more laughingNo more gamesNo more hiding from the blameEverything looks differentUnder blue lights on the avenue

The dock went stillThe music died

Somebody's mamaStarted to cry

And all those alibisFell right throughWhen the blue lights hit the avenue

Blue lights on the avenueSomebody took it way too farTruth came rolling down the roadLike sirens in the dark

No more laughingNo more gamesNo more hiding from the blameEverything looks differentUnder blue lights on the avenue

Dock lights fadeSirens moveThe truth always floatsOn the avenue
