Lighten Up Songtext
von Brothers Osborne

There′s a roadside bar with a neon sign
And when the sun goes down
We'll be rollin′ up
About the time to lighten up (lighten up)
To kick off the floor on the right foot
Southpaw, pass it around
Gon' keep the windows up
'Cause we′ll be lightin′ up

Now, Brotha Jimbo ain't no late night toker
Never been one to roll with the holy rollers
Just puts a little somethin′ in his cup
When he wants to lighten up, lighten up

Maybe everybody could lighten up
When the goin' gets a little tough, give a little love
And put your lighters in the air and light ′em up
Lately, everybody's done had enough
Gotta get it back to the good stuff, just to live it up
And when the world goes dark, we′ll be lightin' up


Back porch, pickin' from my six string
Sippin′ from a fill it up cup, uh
They ain′t gonna turn it down, nah
Only gonna crank it up, crank it up (lighten up)
Redneck hippies and the girls from the cities all gettin' along
Long hairs on the country song

Maybe everybody could lighten up
When the goin′ gets a little tough, give a little love
And put your lighters in the air and light 'em up
Lately, everybody′s done had enough
Gotta get it back to the good stuff, just to live it up
And when the world goes dark, we'll be lightin′ up

Yeah, maybe everybody could lighten up
When the goin' gets a little tough, give a little love
And put your lighters in the air and light 'em up
Lately, everybody′s done had enough
Gotta get it back to the good stuff, just to live it up
And when the world goes dark, we′ll be lightin' up
Lighten up (lighten up), lighten up (lighten up)
(Lighten up)
