Lyrics
"Festival Girl"
Music/Lyrics by: John Kelly Wilson
Verse
Well I guess we're becoming permanent fixtures at Coachella and Stagecoach too
Make sure every year to make the scene at Bonnaroo
I laughed so hard when you got called up to dance on stage at Gulf Coast Jam
Told his roadies you were Eric Church's number one biggest fan
Chorus
You're my Festival girl never let you go
Life's a party always 5 o'clock in your world
Have blender will travel come rain or shine
Get there early for the best seats when gates open gotta be on time
Verse
We met after the Thomas Rhett set at Rock the South
Your Bama hippie chick country look still knocks me out
Something clicked we connected been two years and I really don't know
How we're living this life together where all that matters is getting to the next big show
Chorus
You're my Festival girl never let you go
Life's a party always 5 o'clock in your world
Have blender will travel come rain or shine
Get there early for the best seats when gates open gotta be on time
Bridge
But I'm haunted by those same people livin out of the back of their vans
Turn up wherever there's a show preaching peace, love and freedom with a beer in their hand
Scratching out a living selling bootleg t shirts for ten bucks to the younger fans
Pushing late 30s with no direction no plan
Never grew up, moved on
Trapped in this fantasy land
Verse
There's a high that comes after partying all day when the music finally plays
Rum, tequila, beer or who knows what, runnin all through our veins
Can't help thinking sometimes if in a year, it'll all be the same
Will you still be here with me, then I just tell myself to live for today
Chorus
You're my Festival girl never let you go
Life's a party always 5 o'clock in your world
Have blender will travel come rain or shine
Get there early for the best seats when gates open gotta be on time
Gotta be on time
Free spirits need to be on time
Gotta be on time
