[Verse 1]
Had "Marina del Rey" playing on the truck speakers
As we drove around that farm that night
Past the pond, down the trail, into the woods, we went deeper
Nothing but country in sight

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the sky went dark, saw the tobacco barn
Sittin' like heaven on a hill
You took off and ran and you smiled at me
All I could think was, "Damn"

[Chorus]
You know this is the best night ever
Quarter moon peekin' through the pines
Paintin' lines on your face while I'm thinkin'
This the best night ever
I was prayin' wouldn't end, then the clouds rolled in
Started raining and your hair got wet
And you laughed, I was dyin'
Never seen you so beautiful, darling, running through rain in the dark
Best night ever
Then you pulled me in hard under that pole barn
Oh my God, it was the best night ever
You know it was best night ever

[Verse 2]
Never done nothing like that before
We just stayed right there and listened to the rain hit the tin roof, and damn, it poured
If that old orange tractor could talk
It'd sure have a lot to say
That's gon' stay right there between me and her
And that Tennessee rain

[Chorus]
You know it was the best night ever
Quarter moon peekin' through the pines
Paintin' lines on your face while I'm thinkin'
This the best night ever
I was prayin' wouldn't end, then the clouds rolled in
Started raining and your hair got wet
And you laughed, I was dyin'
Never seen you so beautiful, darling, running through rain in the dark
Best night ever
Then you pulled me in hard under that pole barn
Oh my God, it was the best night ever

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the sky went dark, saw the tobacco barn
Sittin' like heaven on a hill
You took off and ran and you smiled at me
All I could think was, "Damn"

[Chorus]
You know this is the best night ever
Quarter moon peekin' through the pines
Paintin' lines on your face while I'm thinkin'
This the best night ever
I was prayin' wouldn't end, then the clouds rolled in
Started raining and your hair got wet
And you laughed, I was dyin'
Never seen you so beautiful, darling, running through rain in the dark
Best night ever
Then you pulled me in hard under that pole barn
Oh my God, it was the best night ever
You know it was best night ever

Chase Rice

Country music maverick Chase Rice has become one of country music’s most exciting figures since arriving in Nashville, building a loyal fan base across the country through his energetic live shows and gaining the attention of music critics and industry professionals alike with his edgy, eclectic sound. The Tar Heel State native recently released his first taste of new music with “Lonely If You Are,” now available on all digital platforms and climbing the charts at Country radio. The song follows his sophomore album, Lambs & Lions, released with Broken Bow Records in 2017 and featuring two-week chart-topper “Eyes On You” – Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career with more than 200 million streams and counting. Lambs & Lions followed Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; the Platinum-certified “Ready Set Roll” and “Gonna Wanna Tonight.” After supporting Kenny Chesney’s The Big Revival Tour, Rice has consistently sold out 2,500-3,000 seat venues on his own headlining tours, plus served as direct support on the Luke Bryan Farm Tour 2018. His current headlining AM/PM Tour runs through the rest of 2019 before his The Pint of Anything Tour hits Europe in early 2020.
