Open Mic Night Lyrics - June 24, 2026

“I Knew It, I Knew You” - Taylor Swift

I knew you
Through the daze of the blades of the grass in summer
Parachutes for the free fall of being younger

I memorized the sound of your bare footsteps running wild
It's been a long time
Life has ways of leaving those days behind
But seeing you tonight

I remembered I loved you
Came back when it mattered
I saw you, standing there in the light of the window
Wearing that same smile
Man, it's been a while
But I knew it, I knew you
I knew it, I knew you

I knew you, all your blues like a mood ring changing colors
You did too, there were times we could fight like brothers

I watched you drive around the bend
For what I thought would be the last time I saw my friend
But love has ways of bringing things back to life
All you said was, "Hi"

And I remembered I loved you
Came back when it mattered
I saw you, standing there in the light of the window
Wearing that same smile
Man, it's been a while
But I knew it, I knew you
I knew it, I knew you
I knew it, I knew you

Oh, the rivers I cried when we said goodbye
Wondering if I'd made it up in my mind
But now you look me in the eye

And you told me I loved you
Came back when it mattered
I saw you, standing there in the light of the window
Wearing that same smile
Yeah, it's been a while
Oh
Wearing that same smile
Man, it's been a while
Wearing that same smile
Man, it's been a while
But I knew it, I knew you

I knew it, I knew you
Wearing that same smile
I knew it, I knew you
I knew it, I knew you
I knew it

“Mr. Red, White, and Blue” - Coffey Anderson

It's the guts, and it's the glory
A hundred stripes, a hundred stories
It's the "Pledge of Allegiance" on the Fourth of July
It's them handwritten letters from home
It's them sleepless nights alone
It's his new born baby he left with his wife

(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Lay down his life
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) For these Stars and Stripes, hey

From the fields of Indiana
To the swamps of Louisiana
To the golden coast of Californ'
Uncle Sam's the only family he's got
His purple heart beat won't stop
And his 18th birthday was the day he was born

(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Lay down his life
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) For these Stars and Stripes
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Stand on the front line
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Pay the ultimate price
Ohh

He was the man of the house where he was born
His family is proud but torn
But if you knew him, you would understand
He was raised on how to be brave
Just to see the flag still wave
And then he came home with only one hand

He's Mr. Red, White, and Blue, lay down his life
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) For these Stars and Stripes
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Stand on these front lines
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) He'll pay the ultimate price
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Lay down his life
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) For these Stars and Stripes

March in line
March in line
Hey
Hey

“Watermelon Sugar” - Harry Styles

Tastes like strawberries on a summer evenin'
And it sounds just like a song
I want more berries and that summer feelin'
It's so wonderful and warm

Breathe me in, breathe me out
I don't know if I could ever go without
I'm just thinking out loud
I don't know if I could ever go without

Watermelon sugar high, watermelon sugar high
Watermelon sugar high, watermelon sugar high
Watermelon sugar

Strawberries on a summer evenin'
Baby, you're the end of June
I want your belly and that summer feelin'
Getting washed away in you

Breathe me in, breathe me out
I don't know if I could ever go without

Watermelon sugar high, watermelon sugar high
Watermelon sugar high, watermelon sugar high
Watermelon sugar high, watermelon sugar high
Watermelon sugar high, watermelon sugar high

I just wanna taste it, I just wanna taste it
Watermelon sugar high

Tastes like strawberries on a summer evenin'
And it sounds just like a song
I want your belly and that summer feelin'
I don't know if I could ever go without

Watermelon sugar high, watermelon sugar high
Watermelon sugar (sugar) high, watermelon sugar high (sugar)
Watermelon sugar high, watermelon sugar high
Watermelon sugar high, watermelon sugar high

I just wanna taste it, I just wanna taste it (yeah)
Watermelon sugar high
I just wanna taste it, I just wanna taste it
Watermelon sugar high, watermelon sugar

“Son of Man” - Phil Collins

Oh, the power to be strong
And the wisdom to be wise
All these things will come to you in time
On this journey that you're making
There'll be answers that you'll seek
And it's you who'll climb the mountain
It's you who'll reach the peak

Son of man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Someday you'll walk tall with pride
Son of man, a man in time you'll be

Though there's no one there to guide you
No one to take your hand
But with faith and understanding
You will journey from boy to man

Son of man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Someday you'll walk tall with pride
Son of man, a man in time you'll be

In learning you will teach
And in teaching you will learn
You'll find your place beside the ones you love
Oh, and all the things you dreamed of
The visions that you saw
Well, the time is drawing near now
It's yours to claim it all

Son of man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Someday you'll walk tall with pride
Son of man, a man in time you'll be

Yeh-oh
Yeh-oh
Yeh-oh
Son of man
Son of man's a man for all to see

“Say it Right” - Nelly Furtado

Freak-freak, girl
Hey
You don't mean nothing at all to me, hey
Hey

In the day, in the night
Say it right, say it all
Either got it or you don't
You either stand or you fall

When your will is broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan

Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me (hey, oh-oh, hey)
No, you don't mean nothing at all to me (hey, oh-oh, hey)
But you got what it takes to set me free (hey, oh-oh, hey)
Oh, you could mean everything to me (hey, oh-oh, hey)

I can't say (say) that I'm not (not)
At a loss (loss) and at fault (fault)
I can't say (say) that I don't (don't)
Love the light (light) and the dark

I can't say that I don't (don't)
Know that I am alive
And I love what I feel (feel)
I could show (show you) you tonight, you tonight

Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me (hey, oh-oh, hey)
No, you don't mean nothing at all to me (hey, oh-oh, hey)
But you got what it takes to set me free (hey, oh-oh, hey)
Oh, you could mean everything to me (hey, oh-oh, hey)

From my hands, I could give you something that I made
From my mouth, I could sing you another brick that I laid
From my body (from my body) I could show you (I could show you)
A place (a place) God knows (that only God knows)
You should know, this space is holy (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Do you really wanna go? (Two, three, four)

Hey, hey, hey
You don't mean nothin' at all to me
Hey, hey
You don't mean nothing when I think about something
Hey, hey, hey
You don't mean nothin' at all to me
Hey, hey
You don't mean nothing when I think about something
