Turn It Up Loud

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Back of the van smells like rain

Tuner keeps drifting out of key

Sunday shows in a rented hall

Fifty folding chairs and one kid clapping for me

Pre-Chorus

Every town looks the same when you drive at night

Every motel sign is buzzing like a trapped fly

Chorus

Turn it up loud

Turn it up loud

Six strings and a borrowed amp

That's all I've got to say

Turn it up loud

Turn it up loud

Let the whole street hear me

Before the money runs out

Verse 2

Wore the same jeans for seven days

Drummer quit in Bandung

Left a note on the windshield

Sorry man I need a job

Pre-Chorus

Every riff I write sounds like something I stole

Every stage I stand on feels a little more like home

Chorus

Turn it up loud

Turn it up loud

Six strings and a borrowed amp

That's all I've got to say

Turn it up loud

Turn it up loud

Let the whole street hear me

Before the money runs out

Guitar Solo

Bridge

I could quit and go home

I could quit and go home

But my hands keep moving on their own

Keep moving on their own

Chorus

Turn it up loud

Turn it up loud

Six strings and a borrowed amp

That's all I've got to say

Turn it up loud

Turn it up loud

Let the whole street hear me

Before the money runs out

(One more time)

Before the money runs out

Outro

Turn it up loud
