Let's Go to Town

I've been in a bit of a dry spell as far as songwriting lately. I recently moved across the country, and I've been very busy with work projects and stuff like that. I got a few songs floating around in my head, though, and a backlog of song ideas that just need fleshing out into full songs and recording. So I expect, or at least hope for, a period of fecundity to come.

Here is one of those songs. When you've been worrying and stressing and fighting and moving and packing and unpacking and driving and installing and calling and wheeling and dealing with all the little details that come with a big move, at a certain point you just want to stop all that and have a fun night. That's when you just want to say, screw it, Let's Go to Town. We can get the electricity turned on tomorrow.

Let's go to town.
Let's take this city down.

We spent the whole week moving things,
Working on improving things,

Unpacking boxes for the shelves,
Helping everything but ourselves,
But Friday's here, we're dressing up.
I'll clean my plate, I'll drain my cup.

Let's go to town.
Let's take this city down.
Pour me some sangria wine,
Look up to see the stars align,
Go ahead play that Disco song,
'Cause tonight no one cares if you wanna sing along.
Let's go!

Yeah, who in here would intervene
If you wanna be a dancing queen?
Yeah, who would say the party's done
Before we get to having fun?
So come with me, we'll hit the bars.
Let's party like we're superstars.

Yeah, send in the clowns.
Let's get this off the ground.
Why don't you wear your white boots baby?
Please put on that tight shirt baby.
Play that stupid Disco song,
'Cause tonight no one minds if you wanna sing along.
Let's go!

Get your engine running
If you're coming
Make this happen
Come with me!

'Cause night time's falling
Moonlight's calling
Bass-line's kicking
Up to speed.
Let's go to town.

Well, as soon as my eyes adjust to the night
I'll see as good as I could in the light
How much fun we can have together.
Hold on tight, 'cause it's gonna get better.
So pass me a bottle of Jose Cuervo.
We'll take it with us where ever our cares go.

Let's go to town.
There's no one else around.
Remember in that bar by the water,
You danced with me all alone in the corner, so
Play that funky disco song.
Tonight I don't care I just wanna sing along.
Let's go!
