       Erica looks up sites of night clubs,      1     (5  3)
       plans her time with care.                 4      5
       Like each evening, she'll be leaving      1     (5  3)
       once she figures out where.               4      5

       Erica finds the price of a pint           1     (5  3)   
       folds it in her palm,                     4      5
       It's her ticket for admission to          1     (5  3)
       sweet concerts til dawn.                  4      5
Though she can't lose with so much music         1      1aug
       she must choose somehow.                  4     (4m 5)
       Once the sun's down, we'll all wonder     1     (5  3)

She's gotta hear her bands and she's gotta dance      5   5
         to almost everything                         6m  6m
       from country blues to Marley tunes             5   5
         to punk to western swing.                    6m  6m
        Her ears might lead her anywhere,             4   47
              long as it's out.                       1   6m
       With so many shows, nobody knows               2   2

       Erica hears her parents' spirits          1     (5  3)   
       tell her how she's wrong                  4      5
       to be spending her last pennies on        1     (5  3)   
       pints, friends and song.                  4      5
   She says she understands but she              1      1aug
  just can't give up her sounds,                 4     (4m 5)

You know Erica might just have it right,         1      5
 cause how can it be wrong                       4      5
       to be spending hard-earned money on       1      5
       pints, friends and song?                  4      5
 Cause when the bands start playing we just      1      1aug
       have to head downtown                     4     (4m 5)
    to let the music's joy infuse us.            1     (5  3)
