Good Nights Don’t Last

Verse 1

We came up slow on back-road miles

Tailgate down, speakers loud — young and wild

Momma prayed we’d make it out alive

Yeah, we didn’t know then, but we were alive

The summer air smelled like sweet tea and gas

Late-night dares and burning rubber past that last red light

Laughing like the world was ours to win

Never thought one day we’d miss all that again

Pre-Chorus

We chased hours like they were friends

Never thought about the end

Chorus

But good nights don’t last

Still burn in your heart

Like a faded tattoo or the best damn part

Of a song you always knew by heart

Yeah, good nights don’t last

But we still drive fast

Down old roads in a new world

Tryna hold on to what we had

And good nights… don’t last

Verse 2

Flip-phone memories on an iPhone screen

TikTok livin’ but we still love vinyl and old jeans

Friday night lights turned into Friday night fights

Guess adulthood came in quiet, no warning signs

We scroll for nostalgia, we like what we knew

But nothing feels the same when it ain’t with you

So we pour another drink and let the moments spin

Prayin’ those good nights never really end

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, we chase hours like they’re friends

Hold on tight, never let ‘em end

Chorus

But good nights don’t last

Still burn in your heart

Like a faded tattoo or the best damn part

Of a song you always knew by heart

Yeah, good nights don’t last

But we still drive fast

Down old roads in a new world

Tryna hold on to what we had

And good nights… don’t last

Bridge

Here’s to the ones we loved

Here’s to the ones we lost

Here’s to the fire that never went out

Even when it burned us up

And we’re still running back

To those summers in the past

Yeah, we learned… nothing gold stays…

Final Chorus (Big + Anthemic)

But good nights don’t last

They just echo deep

Like a Sunday song we still sing in the sleep

Of memories that cut so sweet

Yeah, good nights don’t last

But we go back

To that old dirt road in our mind

Time might change it…

But we still find

That good nights…

Don’t…

Last.

Outro (Soft + Nostalgic)

Tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes

But those good nights?

They’re still in our souls.
