What a Song Should Do - Tim Hicks

If they don’t make ya dance

If they don’t make ya think

If they don’t get you sober

It better make you drink

Yeah it’s what you drive to, cry to

Make you feel alive to

When you got nothing left to lose

If they don’t get you laughing

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

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 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

and the truth, 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’ll keep you wide awake 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-whoa, whoa-oh)

That’s what a song should do

That’s what a song should do

(Whoa-whoa, whoa-oh)

It should mean something to you

So what keeps it going

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, whoa

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’ll keep the party going 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
