What a Song Should Do

If it don't make you dance

It better make you think

If it don't get your soul burn

It better make you drink

Yeah, that's what you drive to, cry to

Make you feel alive to

When you got nothing left to lose

It better get you laughin'

Or break your heart in two

That's what a song should do

It should make you go, hell, yeah

Me too

Yeah, that's what a song should do

It should make you feel alright

All night

With four chords and the truth

That's what a song should do

It's that old record your daddy used to play

It's that first dance on your wedding day

Yeah, it should shape you, change you

Break you down and break through

Like you've got nothing left to prove

Worthy of words on your tattoo

That's what a song should do

It should make you go, hell, yeah

Me too

Yeah, that's what a song should do

It should make you feel alright

All night

With four chords and the truth

Yeah, it should be the soundtrack singing every moment of your life

The beat that keep your party goin' till the sunrise

Can't help but sing along to

It should make you go, hell, yeah

Oh, me too

That's what a song should do

Oh, yeah

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

That's what a song should do

That's what a song should do

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

It should mean something to you

So what keeps you goin'?

What puts that flicker in your flame?

And when your candle burns out

What song they gonna play?

What song they gonna play?

It should make you go, hell, yeah

Me too

Yeah, that's what a song should do

Oh, it should make you feel alright

All nigh

With four chords and the truth

Yeah, it should be the soundtrack singing every moment of your life

The beat that keep your party goin' till the sunrise

Can't help but sing along to

It should make you go, hell, yeah

And me too

That's what a song should do
