Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Y'all can't do better than this
Y'all can't do better than this
Y'all can't do better than this
Act like the south ain't the shit
Act like the south ain't the shit
Act like the south ain't the shit
Y'all can't do better than this
Y'all can't do better than this
Act like the south ain't the shit, wait
[Verse 2]
It's just a midnight summer's jam
The air's so thin but we don't give a damn
The starry sky across the night
Where we pretend it's our last chance to dance
[Verse 3]
It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight
It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight
It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight
It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight
[Verse 4]
It's in the air, hospitality
Anything you want, what's mine is yours
But don't you worry about the way I talk, ooh
It's where I'm from, come and get you some, uh
Hey, all of the locals are happy to get out and meet a new face
We dance in circles, on and on, dosey-do and then we sway
Even the old folks will come out and rock
And we just hopin' the music don't stop 'til the next day
[Verse 5]
It's just a midnight summer's jam
The air's so thin, but we don't give a damn
The starry sky across the night
Where we pretend it's our last chance to dance
[Verse 6]
It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight
It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight
It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight
It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight
[Verse 7]
Y'all can't do better than this
Y'all can't do better than this
Y'all can't do better than this
Act like the south ain't the shit
Act like the south ain't the shit
Act like the south ain't the shit
Y'all can't do better than this
Y'all can't do better than this
Act like the south ain't the shit
Act like the south ain't the shit
Act like the south ain't the, south ain't the shit
Summer nights, I love those
Summer nights, I love those
Summer nights, I love those
Summer nights, it's sweaty out here, baby
[Verse 8]
(Go hard)
(Go, go hard)
[Verse 9]
Brother E, Hit me with somethin'!
Uh, hah, come on
I don't like it, I love it, uh
Uh, come on
Move somethin'!
Ooh, wait
[Verse 10]
It's just a midnight summer's jam
The air's so thin, but we don't give a damn
The starry sky across the night
Where we pretend it's our last chance to dance
[Verse 11]
It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight
It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight
It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight
It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight
[Verse 12]
Start it over
Start it over
Start it over
Start it over
Start it over
Start it over
Start it over
Start it over
[Verse 13]
Yeah, come on
Come up a little somethin'
And we ain't goin' home no time soon, c'mon
Uh-huh, move somethin'
[Verse 14]
After midnight, please don't stop the music
Move somethin'
After midnight, please don't stop the music
Shake somethin'
After midnight, please don't stop the music
After midnight, please don't stop the music
