Bonfire Nights (Raise Your Cup)

[Verse 1]
Tommy’s truck is rusted out but still roars like a beast
Marissa’s got the baby fed and dinner’s done, at least
Angie’s yellin’ from the porch, “Y’all better grab your chairs!”
Mike’s draggin’ logs, still smellin’ like paint and fresh repairs

[Chorus]
🎶 Raise your cup, light it up, it’s a bonfire night!
Boots in the mud, hearts feelin’ right
Neighbors peekin’ out, but we just might
Sing ‘til dawn in the smoky twilight!
Oom-pah-pah! Let’s dance and shout—
These are the nights we talk about! 🎶

[Verse 2]
Peter’s showin’ off his snakes, Olivia’s runnin’ late
The kids are dancin’ in the yard, marshmallows on a plate
The chickens cluckin’ country tunes, confused but keepin’ time
Someone brought some apple pie and a jug of homemade shine

[Chorus]
🎶 Raise your cup, light it up, it’s a bonfire night!
Backyard blaze and stars so bright
Mike’s wet wood finally caught just right
Now nobody’s goin’ home tonight
Oom-pah-pah! Stomp the ground—
Good friends, good fire, all gathered ‘round! 🎶

[Bridge]
The fire’s cracklin’, stories fly
Tommy swears he saw a UFO sky-high
Marissa rolls her eyes, Angie sips her tea
Mike’s just proud it ain’t fallin’ down, you see

[Breakdown – Polka Instrumental]
🎺🎻 Accordion solo, boot stomps, fiddle breaks, and laughter

[Final Chorus]
🎶 Raise your cup, light it up, it’s a bonfire night!
Workin’ hard but we live it right
Laughter loud and spirits light
We’ll keep this party burnin’ bright
Oom-pah-pah! Don’t forget—
These bonfire nights, we ain’t done yet! 🎶
