Wooderson Lyrics
And tonight the coastline is quiet,
It's quieter than it's ever been.
Honey this town is a prison,
With it's four walls closing in.
And they do one pill to make you smaller,
They got one pill to make you scream.
Darling this heart is on fire,
And this life is but a dream.
All right, all right.
You see this town pulls my heart strings.
I fell in love with the Shrewsberry stars.
But there's far too many diamonds,
In the back seats of borrowed cars.
And I can't shake this burning.
I can't tell no lie.
I could never stand no weather.
Darling this heart is on fire.
All right, all right.
All right, all right.
Tonight, tonight,
We're gonna ride like Silver in the desolation moonlight.
Tonight, tonight,
I ain't coming back until the morning light.
Tonight, tonight,
Well it's all right, all right.
Tonight, tonight...
All right, all right...
Dance in my moonlight,
My old friend the twilight.
Dance in my moonlight,
My old friend the twilight.
Dance in my moonlight,
My old friend the twilight.
Dance in my moonlight,
My old friend...
It's quieter than it's ever been.
Honey this town is a prison,
With it's four walls closing in.
And they do one pill to make you smaller,
They got one pill to make you scream.
Darling this heart is on fire,
And this life is but a dream.
All right, all right.
I fell in love with the Shrewsberry stars.
But there's far too many diamonds,
In the back seats of borrowed cars.
And I can't shake this burning.
I can't tell no lie.
I could never stand no weather.
Darling this heart is on fire.
All right, all right.
All right, all right.
We're gonna ride like Silver in the desolation moonlight.
Tonight, tonight,
I ain't coming back until the morning light.
Tonight, tonight,
Well it's all right, all right.
Tonight, tonight...
My old friend the twilight.
Dance in my moonlight,
My old friend the twilight.
Dance in my moonlight,
My old friend the twilight.
Dance in my moonlight,
My old friend...

reminds me of "Thunder Road" and "Born to Run" combined... the lyrics are rather self-explanatory, I think, and the song is very pretty.
I think it's "Dancin' by moonlight, my old friend the twilight."

Wooderson is the name of the Matthew MacConahey character in "Dazed and Confused"
Wooderson also likes to say "All right, all right" on a number of occasions.

The first "tonight tonight, it's alright, alright..." is astonishing. how can you fill such everyday words with that sort of emotion? I don't know. Brian is wonderful.
its "shrewsbury" not "shrewsberry."
To me this songs about how wonderful life is when your a teenager and your just starting to drive, date, do crazy things, to finally break out. and falling in love with the town that gave you all these things and most importantly falling in love with the night, with that moment when the sun goes down, with your sweetheart whom flourishes with you in the moonlight..
