[Verse 1]
I'm so tired of workin' every day
Well, now the weekend's come, I'm gonna throw my troubles away
If you've got the cab fare, sister, you'll do all right
Oh, I want to see the bright lights tonight

[Chorus]
Meet me at the station, don't be late
Oh, I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

[Verse 2]
Well, there's crazy people runnin' all over town
And a silver band just marchin' up and down
The big boys are all spoilin' for a fight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

[Chorus]
Meet me at the station, don't be late
Oh, I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

[Guitar Solo]
