There's a bonfire burning
Got Bocephus blaring
Louder than allowed out in our neck of the neighborhood
If you wanna see follow me over the river through the woods

When the bugs and the beer start biting
There's bound to be some friendly fighting
Usually little Becky Lee winds up jumpin' up on somebody's hood
Don't she dance good?
Join the crowd gather round
Over the river through the woods

Just follow my tail lights out past the streetlights
A left then a hard right, they're goin' all night
We'll do a little what we want
After one long week of doin what we should
Over the river and through the woods

At first I thought she was kiddin
When she mentioned skinny dipping
She said follow me through the trees
Yes siree unless I misunderstood
We'll splash and splish with the fish
Over the river and through the woods

That's my beer can next to her beer can
Next to my work pants up there on dry land
We'll do a little what we want
After one long week of doin what we should
Over the river and through the woods

That's my sore head layin on my truck bed
Eyes blood shot red hearing what my mama said
We did a little what we want
After one long week of doing what we should

Over the river and through the woods
Yeah, over the river and through the woods

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
