[Verse 1: Megan Moroney]
Five girls in the mirror putting makeup on
There’s boys downstairs playing drinking songs
Circled up ’round a hand-me-down guitar
Singing, “Oh-oh-oh”
Brand new boots that we’re ’bout to break in
Bought some nosebleed seats, summer money well spent
Parking lot, take a shot, steal a kiss
And we’re ready to go

[Chorus: Megan Moroney]
I see the lights, I hear the band
Feels like the whole world’s in our hands
Soaking it up, breathing it in
One day we’ll say, “Remember when”
We were so alive
I swear that night there was magic in the air
You had to be there

[Verse 2: Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney]
Seven years later, got a different point of view
Got a sound check in ten and my own dressing room
Going ’round the world with the king of no shoes
Singing, “Oh-oh-oh”
Can’t tell you how fast time’s gonna fly by
Keep your heart on your sleeve and your chin held high
Baby, hold on tight
Don’t let go

[Chorus: Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney, Megan Moroney & Kenny Chesney]
I see the lights, I hear the band
Feels like the whole world’s in our hands
Soaking it up, breathing it in
One day we’ll say, “Remember when”
We were so alive
I swear that night there was magic in the air
You had to be there

You had to be there
Oh, you had to be there

[Bridge: Megan Moroney, Megan Moroney & Kenny Chesney]
We made the memories, we’ve got the pictures
But you had to be there
You can’t fake it, that kind of feeling
You had to be there

[Chorus: Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney, Megan Moroney & Kenny Chesney]
I see the lights, I hear the band
Feels like the whole world’s in our hands
Soaking it up, breathing it in
One day we’ll say, “Remember when”
We were so alive
I swear that night there was magic in the air
We were so alive
I swear that night there was magic in the air
You had to be there,you had to be there
Oh, you had to be there, you had to be there
And oh, we were there
We were there, we were there
You had to be there
