Danville Nights

Intro

(Yeah... Danville nights)

Verse

Friday lights on the field in Danville town

Dad in the bleachers, momma holdin' him down

I was throwin' that ball like it carried my name

Family roots run deep in the Illinois rain

You were standin' by the fence in your faded jeans

Love hit harder than a linebacker’s dream

But I kept it locked up, didn’t let it fly

Took too long to say what’s been on my mind

Chorus

I’m sorry, sorry for the wait

Didn’t mean to hold this back, now it’s gettin' late

This love’s a touchdown I shoulda thrown your way

Family cheerin’ loud, but I delayed the play

Sorry I didn’t release it sooner, girl

This song’s been sittin’ in my chest, it’s your world

Danville football heart, but my timing was wrong

Apologizin’ for not releasin’ this song

Verse

High school bleachers, cold beer after the game

You waited on me while I chased the fame

Pigskin and pride kept my words in a huddle

Family told me, “boy, don’t you fumble”

Now the lights are dim but the feelin’s still real

Love like a long bomb I shoulda revealed

Sorry for the silence, sorry for the stall

This one’s for the ones who caught me when I’d fall

Chorus

I’m sorry, sorry for the wait

Didn’t mean to hold this back, now it’s gettin' late

This love’s a touchdown I shoulda thrown your way

Family cheerin’ loud, but I delayed the play

Sorry I didn’t release it sooner, girl

This song’s been sittin’ in my chest, it’s your world

Danville football heart, but my timing was wrong

Apologizin’ for not releasin’ this song

Bridge

(Let it go, let it go)

From the end zone to your heart, I’m comin’ home

(Let it go, let it go)

No more holdin’ back what I shoulda shown

Chorus

I’m sorry, sorry for the wait

Didn’t mean to hold this back, now it’s gettin' late

This love’s a touchdown I shoulda thrown your way

Family cheerin’ loud, but I delayed the play

Sorry I didn’t release it sooner, girl

This song’s been sittin’ in my chest, it’s your world

Danville football heart, but my timing was wrong

Apologizin’ for not releasin’ this song

Outro

(Yeah... sorry, girl)

Danville nights... finally lettin’ it fly
