[Verse 1]
Yeah, I know a place where kings and paupers
Drink with the dreamers and the cheaters and the lawyers
And the dealers deal aces from a loaded stack of cards
Now what if I told you a place existed
Where the magic in the air tastes like moonlight on the lips
And no hand in the deck can beat a pair of hearts?

[Chorus]
Everybody's got their arms around
Everybody else's shoulders
Guardin' against the world outside
Like an army of Friday night soldiers
The battle wages tomorrow
But tonight you don't give a damn
Wish you could stay the way I see you
Through my Ray-Bans

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
I see a place where a moment in time
Is a kaleidoscope of color on a canvas of white
Where the voices roar at the noise of the poet's rhyme
Would you believe my story or buy what I'm sellin'
If I told you the tale I'm in the middle of tellin'
Is as true as the blue in the grass or the green in the sky?

[Chorus]
Everybody's got their arms around
Everybody else's shoulder
Guardin' against the world outside
Like an army of Friday night soldiers
The battle wages tomorrow
But tonight we don't give a damn
Wish you could stay the way I see you
Through my Ray-Bans

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
Everybody's got their arms around
Everybody else's shoulders
Guardin' against the world outside
Like an army of Friday night soldiers
The battle wages tomorrow
But tonight we've got a drink in our hand
Wish you could stay the way I see you
Through my Ray-Bans

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh, ooh)
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh)
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh, ooh)
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh, ooh)

Eric Church

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
