Jessie told her mama she's gonna be out late
But she ain't comin' home at all
Tyler's gettin' new ink down at that little place
Down by the old strip mall
Somebody's gonna get drunk, somebody's gonna get lucky
Tomorrow there's gonna be talk

But it'll be alright, it's just another night
In the middle of America
We're lettin' our freedom ring
Chasin' these small town dreams
Doin' what our parents did
Watchin' them shake their heads
Thinkin' we've all gone crazy lately
We know it'll be alright
It's just another night in the middle of America

Brandon just got back, two years in Iraq
They're throwin' him a party tonight
Lindsay's home cryin', 'cause she caught Travis
In another one of his damn lies
Yeah, Billy and the band are settin' up their amps
Playin' for beer in that little dive

But it'll be alright, it's just another night
In the middle of America
We're lettin' our freedom ring
Chasin' these small town dreams
Doin' what our parents did
Watchin' them shake their heads
Thinkin' we've all gone crazy lately
We know it'll be alright
It's just another night in the middle of America

Yeah, we're bustin' our asses
And we're raisin' our glasses
Ain't afraid to get loud
When the sun goes down around here

But we know it'll be alright, it's just another night
In the middle of America
We're lettin' our freedom ring
Chasin' these small town dreams
Doin' what our parents did
Watchin' them shake their heads
Thinkin' this whole world's crazy lately
We know it'll be alright
It's just another night in the middle of America
Oh, it'll be alright
It's just another night in the middle of America
