But that's how I play, yeah, that's how I play
I said, who are you? Don't matter who you are
Just saw you dance all night and dance all day
I say
I say
We're gonna build a fire, gonna stoke it up
We're gonna sip this wine and pass the cup
Who needs avenues? Who needs reservoirs?
We're gonna show this town how to kiss these stars
I say
I say
We're gonna hunt to kill, we're gonna skin the hide
And yelp and scream, and away I ride
And every drop that spills on every plot of ground
It's all for you, for what you found
I say
I say
I say
I say
It's gonna take your head and gonna drive you home
It's gonna keep on, keep on, keep on and then forever roam
Kings of Leon is an American rock band formed in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1999. The band includes brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared Followill and their cousin Matthew Followill.
