TONIGHT WE'RE GONNA TEAR DOWN THE WALLS

(Jim Sales / Randy Travis (m & l) )

As sung by Randy Travis 1987 < Always & Forever >

Tonight we're gonna tear down the walls
We're gonna laugh and drink and dance and have a ball
The good times ain't over after all
And tonight we're gonna tear down the walls.

It seems we let the hard times come between us
Like a wall around our hearts we couldn't see
Hard luck and troubles came rainin' down upon us
They almost got the best of you and me.

Once we loved to stay at home and make love
Now work is all we ever seem to do
We been spendin' too much time makin' money
And I think it's time we had a laugh or two.

And tonight we're gonna tear down the walls
We're gonna laugh and drink and dance and have a ball
The good times ain't over after all
And tonight we're gonna tear down the walls.

You put on your party clothes and makeup
And I'll polish that ol' truck until it shines
Don't worry 'bout a thing 'til monday mornin'
Just leave hard luck and troubles far behind...

And tonight we're gonna tear down the walls 
We're gonna laugh and drink and dance and have a ball
The good times ain't over after all
And tonight we're gonna tear down the walls...

The good times ain't over after all
And tonight we're gonna tear down the walls.
