[Verse] Well, Ray, I ain't one for talkin’ much, But here I am, spillin' out my heart. This old barstool’s heard a thousand tales, Tonight it’s mine, and you’re my start. [Pre-Chorus] The jukebox hums a lonesome tune, And I’m just tryin’ to figure out where I’ve been. [Chorus] So here’s to the nights we don’t forget, To strangers who feel a little like friends. Raise your glass, let the story unfold, Ray, what’s left unsaid won’t stay untold. Here’s to the nights, my friend. [Verse] Been runnin’ roads that never end, Chasin’ dreams that slipped right through my hands. But in this quiet, dim-lit place, I find a peace I can understand. [Pre-Chorus] The clock keeps tickin’, but I’m standin’ still, With a truth that’s honest, easy and real. [Chorus] So here’s to the nights we don’t forget, To strangers who feel a little like friends. Raise your glass, let the story unfold, Ray, what’s left unsaid won’t stay untold. Here’s to the nights, my friend. [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow takes us somewhere new, But tonight it’s just me and you. No need for promises or grand designs, Just a barstool and a little time. [Chorus] So here’s to the nights we don’t forget, To strangers who feel a little like friends. Raise your glass, let the story unfold, Ray, what’s left unsaid won’t stay untold. Here’s to the nights, my friend. [Outro] Here’s to the nights, Ray, my friend.
