Story Behind The Song

We just wanted to tell a story about having fun, working hard and include some character. Cruise this Town has enjoyed about three weeks on the Broadjam top ten Country Rock category.

Song Description

Buddy describes his need to get out and party after a long week of work and a fresh paycheck. He meets up and describes various characters at his pub of choice, all to a country swing beat.

Cruise This Town

Ben Goerner, Tom Cadham

Well it?s Friday night I?m feeling right
Got a chrome set of wheels and I?m gonna get tight
I've been workin hard, I?ve been workin every day
It?s the end of the week and I just got paid
Trade the sweat on my brow for the wind in my face
Gonna dance all night, forget this place
Make my way to the other side of town
Watch the dead come to life as the sun goes down

No I don?t want to cause nobody harm
I?m not out to settle some lost score
Gonna find me a lady to hold me tight
Gonna make believe every things all right
I?m just gonna cruise this town tonight

Snake?s holding back the line and he gives the nod to me
How?s it goin buddy and I?m getting in for free
Black Jack?s playin everybody?s on the floor
The crowds really rockin and they?re cryin out for more
Johnny take his lady and he swings her to the right
Billy?s lyin to his woman he aint getting none tonight
Jenny?s burnin up the dance floor she?s lightening on her feet
On a country Friday Night with a rockin country beat

I?m just out to have a little fun
Get my kicks from watchin everyone
Gonna find me a lady to hold me tight
Gonna make believe every things alright
I?m just gonna cruise this town tonight

The woman in the corner she?s lookin alright
smooth talking and I get to spend the night
Stick together and I mention that I might
As long as I?m cruising tonight
