Lyrics
Verse 1
We met up after work
Shoes still on the floor
He said, “I need a night”
I said, “What you waiting for?”
beatbox kick, snare clicks
First stop, the movies
Popcorn in a bag
Then we hit the arcade
Talkin’ big and laughin’ loud
Bass vocal: hmm
Pre-Chorus
Pool hall lights on low
Cue sticks in the air
Darts on the back wall
Somebody shouting, “There!”
We were already gone
From the week-day grind
[all vocals] One shot, two shot, three
And we all felt fine
Chorus
Movies, karaoke
Pool and darts all night
Movies, karaoke
Jack Daniel's on ice
Movies, karaoke
We came to feel good
Movies, karaoke
Dancin’ like we should
(Feel good) (Feel good)
Verse 2
She took the first mic
Man, she had that fire
He sang a Memphis line
And the room got higher
beatbox fills
One friend broke it down
On the checkerboard floor
Two more clapped the backbeat
Till nobody kept score
Bass vocal: boom
Paper cups and laughter
Spun around the room
Every bad week left us
By the silver screen and moon
Pre-Chorus
Pool hall lights on low
Cue sticks in the air
Darts on the back wall
Somebody shouting, “There!”
We were already gone
From the week-day grind
[all vocals] One shot, two shot, three
And we all felt fine
Chorus
Movies, karaoke
Pool and darts all night
Movies, karaoke
Jack Daniel's on ice
Movies, karaoke
We came to feel good
Movies, karaoke
Dancin’ like we should
(Feel good) (Feel good)
Bridge
Half-time now
Let the bass voice roll
Mmm-hmm, mm-hmm
Let it take control
One more laugh
One more song
We were strangers at first
Now we all sing along
scat vocal break
Ba-da, ba-da, hey
Clap it back, come on
Final Chorus
Movies, karaoke
Pool and darts all night
Movies, karaoke
Jack Daniel's on ice
Movies, karaoke
We came to feel good
Movies, karaoke
Dancin’ like we should
(Feel good) (Feel good)
Movies, karaoke
We came to feel good
Movies, karaoke
Best night in the wood
(Feel good) (Feel good)
