lyrics

Behind the lights of my hometown, beyond the big road are small folks, we're holdin it down. You wouldn't know just by the lights, that we are field keepers, steel wielders, writers of rhyme. Everybody knows what they think until they're shown what's behind the scenes. They once thought us strange, now they'll be thinkin that we ain't, and the truth is in between.

If you want to know a country, go it by the rail. The best part's the backyards, off the beaten trail.If you want to know somebody, go between the lines. The best show's the one that goes on

Behind the lights of my old house, beyond the front stair, we're in there all singing out loud. You wouldn't know just by the lights, that we are free wheelers, deep feelers, drinkers of wine. Everybody knows what they think until they're shown what's behind the scenes. They once thought us sad, now they'll be think we're not too bad. And the truth is in between.

If you want to know a country, go it by the rail. The best part's the backyards, off the beaten trail.If you want to know somebody, go between the lines. The best show's the one that goes on

Behind the lights of my old eyes, there is a hard dreamer, star seeker, lover of life. You wouldn't know just by the lights, I've crashed and burned and returned to look at you tonight. Everybody knows what they think until they're shown what's behind the scenes. They once thought me wrong, now they'll be thinking that I'm strong. And the truth is in between.

If you want to know a country, go it by the rail. The best part's the backyards, off the beaten trail.If you want to know somebody, go between the lines. The best show's the one that goes on behind the lights.
