Title:
“One Last Shot at the Moonlight”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse)
Em C
Down by the river, where the steel mill stands,
G D
We swore to never let go of each other’s hands.
Em C
Dreams were big, in our small hometown,
G D
But the city lights were calling, we couldn’t turn them down.

(Chorus)
G D Em C
One last shot at the moonlight, under the rusted crane,
G D Em C
Promise we’ll remember, the love forged in the rain.
G D Em C
Hold on to the memory, as we take the midnight train,
G D Em C
One last shot at the moonlight, naming each other’s pain.

(Verse)
Em C
The echoes of laughter, in these empty streets,
G D
Replaced by whispering winds and broken beats.
Em C
We carry the spirit of our old neighborhood,
G D
In every note we play, every word we’ve understood.

(Chorus)
G D Em C
One last shot at the moonlight, under the rusted crane,
G D Em C
Promise we’ll remember, the love forged in the rain.
G D Em C
Hold on to the memory, as we take the midnight train,
G D Em C
One last shot at the moonlight, naming each other’s pain.
