Brooks & Dunn ~ When We Were Kings


(Kix Brooks/Gary Nicholson) Tommy got off at the Texaco Came bustin' in to Norma's Café Said come on man we gotta go You know how those party girls hate to wait Filled up his daddy's trunk with ice and beer Yeah he was always stealin' the old man's car Radio never came in too clear So I'd hang out one on my piece of junk guitar Chorus Yeah we ruled from the blacktop To the levee where the party never stopped Yeah there was power in the night The spirit was alive When we would sing Shan na na na na na na na When we were kings When we were kings Sittin' around the fire one night Tommy called my name I turned around, he said what do ya think Had his arm around the prettiest girl I'd ever seen He kissed her hand and took another drink I say you must be an angel puttin' up with this guy She laughed and said play me some Rolling Stones I couldn't let that chance go by Yeah I sang her “You Can't Always Get What you Want” Repeat Chorus That was the fall of '65 I guess Uncle Same was hedging his bet Tommy's number cam up he said “Hey, I'll be Fine” “I'll teach 'em a lesson they'll never forget” Angel and I went to wave goodbye I guess we'd always thought we'd see him again You know I took her out a couple of times We always just wound up talkin' 'bout him Repeat Chorus Shan na na na na na na na When we were kings Shan na na na na na na na Shan na na na na na na na more free lyrics

(Kix Brooks/Gary Nicholson)

Tommy got off at the Texaco
Came bustin' in to Norma's Café
Said come on man we gotta go
You know how those party girls hate to wait
Filled up his daddy's trunk with ice and beer
Yeah he was always stealin' the old man's car
Radio never came in too clear
So I'd hang out one on my piece of junk guitar

Chorus
Yeah we ruled from the blacktop
To the levee where the party never stopped
Yeah there was power in the night
The spirit was alive
When we would sing
Shan na na na na na na na
When we were kings
When we were kings

Sittin' around the fire one night Tommy called my name
I turned around, he said what do ya think
Had his arm around the prettiest girl I'd ever seen
He kissed her hand and took another drink
I say you must be an angel puttin' up with this guy
She laughed and said play me some Rolling Stones
I couldn't let that chance go by
Yeah I sang her “You Can't Always Get What you Want”

Repeat Chorus

That was the fall of '65
I guess Uncle Same was hedging his bet
Tommy's number cam up he said “Hey, I'll be Fine”
“I'll teach 'em a lesson they'll never forget”
Angel and I went to wave goodbye
I guess we'd always thought we'd see him again
You know I took her out a couple of times
We always just wound up talkin' 'bout him

Repeat Chorus
Shan na na na na na na na
When we were kings
Shan na na na na na na na
Shan na na na na na na na

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
