Whoa-Oh Weekend

Tailgate talking, rolling wide open, stars nowhere near closing.

Play Whoa-Oh Weekend

Verse 1

Sun comin' up through a bug-smeared windshield
Coffee in a thermos
Boots on the dash
Playlist hittin' every small-town memory
We're burnin' down this two-lane fast
You got your feet on my faded blue Levi's
Laughin' at the way I say your name
You say
"Turn it up
I love this part"
And I ain't ever gonna be the same

Chorus

It's a whoa-oh weekend
Rollin' wide open
Tailgate talkin' like the stars ain't closin' (whoa-oh)
Hearts beatin' louder than the county fair speakers
Dancin' in the gravel
Kickin' up our sneakers
Whoa-oh
We ain't slowin' down
Whoa-oh
Whole world's our small town
Singin' hey
Hey
Don't let this night end
On a whoa-oh
Whoa-oh weekend

Verse 2

Sunburn lines and a cooler in the back seat
Your hair smellin' just like July
We're chasin' that last bit of daylight
Paintin' our names across the sky
Fireflies flicker on the fence line glowin'
You spin in my hoodie
Arms out wide
You say
"Promise me we'll always feel like this"
And I just pull you closer to my side

Chorus

It's a whoa-oh weekend
Rollin' wide open
Tailgate talkin' like the stars ain't closin' (whoa-oh)
Hearts beatin' louder than the county fair speakers
Dancin' in the gravel
Kickin' up our sneakers
Whoa-oh
We ain't slowin' down
Whoa-oh
Whole world's our small town
Singin' hey
Hey
Don't let this night end
On a whoa-oh
Whoa-oh weekend

Bridge

Yeah
Monday's gonna come
I know
But right now
Let the clock run slow
Your hand in mine in the dark
Just stay
If this is all we got
That's okay
From the quiet to a shout
Let the whole world hear us now (hear us now, hey)

Chorus

It's a whoa-oh weekend
Rollin' wide open
Tailgate talkin' like the stars ain't closin' (whoa-oh)
Hearts beatin' louder than the county fair speakers
Dancin' in the gravel
Kickin' up our sneakers
Whoa-oh
We ain't slowin' down
Whoa-oh
Whole world's our small town
Singin' hey
Hey
Don't let this night end
On a whoa-oh
Whoa-oh weekend

Outro Chorus

Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh weekend (whoa-oh)
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh weekend (come on)
Singin' hey
Hey
Don't let this night end
On a whoa-oh
Whoa-oh weekend

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
