Stomp (Live)

Verse 1

Lights cut low and the band cuts loose
A hundred pairs of boots got nothin' to lose
The floor's got give and the night's got grit
And the rafters start to rattle every time we hit
I walked in heavy, walked in slow
Carryin' a week I couldn't let go
But the kick drum hit like a thunder roll
And shook every trouble off of my soul

Pre-Chorus

Sometimes a song's just got a sound
That picks a man up off the ground
Don't need a reason, don't need a rhyme
Just a floor and a beat and a good ol' time

Chorus

Stomp like you mean it
Stomp like you came here for somethin' loud
Hardwood floor and a hundred boots
Makin' more sound than the room allows
Stomp like there ain't no Monday
Stomp like the night belongs to us right now
We don't need a chorus
This is the chorus
Stomp!

Verse 2

There's a girl in red and a guy in plaid
Havin' the night they never knew they had
A long-week stranger with his hands in the air
Shakin' off trouble like it ain't even there
There's a kid up front on a borrowed chair
Singin' every word like she ain't got a care
And the band's locked in, drivin' it down
Like a hundred Friday nights in a one-light town

Pre-Chorus

Sometimes a song's just got a sound
That picks a man up off the ground
Don't need a reason, don't need a rhyme
Just a floor and a beat and a good ol' time

Chorus

Stomp like you mean it
Stomp like you came here for somethin' loud
Hardwood floor and a hundred boots
Makin' more sound than the room allows
Stomp like there ain't no Monday
Stomp like the night belongs to us right now
We don't need a chorus
This is the chorus
Stomp!

Bridge

For all the bills and the broken plans
For every week that got out of hand
Tonight you ain't a name on a list somewhere
You're a boot on the floor and a fist in the air
So put 'em up, bring 'em down
Heel and toe and shake the ground
Tell the ceiling we are here
And the floor's the only thing 'round here we fear

Final Chorus

Stomp like you mean it (mean it!)
Stomp like you came here for somethin' loud (somethin' loud!)
Hardwood floor and a hundred boots (hundred boots!)
Makin' more sound than the room allows (room allows!)
Stomp like there ain't no Monday (no Monday!)
Stomp like the night belongs to us right now (right now!)
We don't need a chorus
This is the chorus
Stomp!

Outro

Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp
We don't need a chorus
This is the chorus
Stomp!
