Lyrics
The van broke down by the bowling alley The bar had cancelled our show Somebody lost the setlist in a puddle And the rain kept soaking our clothes We bought a bag of gas station tacos Ate them on the curb The bartender came out with a pitcher Said sing us something, don't be shy Nothing went right and we sang anyway Raise your voice, it's a ruined, beautiful day Wet and broke and nowhere to stay Nothing went right and we sang anyway A crowd of strangers gathered under awnings Clapped along in the rain Someone found a tambourine in a trash can We played the whole night again Nothing went right and we sang anyway Raise your voice, it's a ruined, beautiful day Wet and broke and nowhere to stay Nothing went right and we sang anyway Hey, hey, if the night won't change We'll change the way we sing Hey, hey, when it all goes wrong We'll make the whole street ring Nothing went right and we sang anyway Raise your voice, it's a ruined, beautiful day Wet and broke and nowhere to stay Nothing went right and we sang anyway We sang anyway, we sang anyway Oh, we sang anyway
