Lyrics:
Sittin’ at home on a Saturday night
the fire is warm and the mood is right
but I’m lookin’ out the window
I see those bright street lights
those bright street lights are callin’ me.Put on my coat, walk out the door
start walkin’ around and I walk downtown
I got to follow those bright street lights
those bright street lights are callin’ me.Now I’m lookin’ through the window of a crazy bar
there’s a rockin’ band of hometown stars
the music is loud and the band is tight
but I step back into the night
gotta follow my bright street lightsA professional lady approaches me
— Hey mister man, want some company?
I tip my hat and smile — no thanks, not tonight
then I step back into the night
I gotta follow my bright lights.Up the hill ‘round the bend
follow those lights back home again
the dawn is breaking
and my bright street lights flicker and fade
fade away my bright street lights . . .
I’m through with walking until tomorrow night.
