You might sing along
With your lighter up in the air
With the radio on
At the top of your lungs
With the wind in your hair

You might know it by heart
Every word
And cry everytime it comes on
But you don't know how it feels
To be the story behind the song

It ain't a slowdance
It ain't just 3 chords and a rhyme
Or just a number one request
On a midnight dj line
It's just a dollar in a jukebox
Heaven knows it caused
So much more
When you're the story behind the song

It's lying awake
On the lonely side of the bed
It's being the one
Who's gotta stay strong
On the sober side of wasted

If you're giving your love
To the kind of someone
Who don't know what they got till it's gone
You might know how it feels
To be the story behind the song

It ain't a slowdance
It ain't just 3 chords and a rhyme
Or just a number one request
On a midnight dj line
It's just a dollar in a jukebox
Heaven knows it caused
So much more
When you're the story behind the song
When you're the story behind the song
