Those city lights call out to me
“Come have some fun” they say
There’s a world of laughs and music
A million games to play
My day at work was crazy
The ride home seemed so long
Instead of going out tonight
Tonight I’ll write a song
Tonight I’ll write a song about a heart break
A song about a love that proved untrue
A song to heal the memory of
Hurt that lingers on
Instead of going out tonight
Tonight I’ll write a song
While my friends are on the town
You’ll find me here at home
It’s a new experience for me
Just staying here alone
They’ll miss me at the party, though
I’m sure they’ll get along
Instead of going out tonight
Tonight I’ll write a song
