Let the Moonshine
Moonlit Memories: Luke Combs' Ode to Simpler Times
Lyrics
It's been a long night
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time
With a heavy loop
Feeling burdened or overwhelmed
And now my high beams are shining on my baby's road
Shining lights on the path or direction of someone beloved
Gonna pick up some clay on the tread of these tires
Symbolizing getting mud or dirt on the tires, anticipating a wild night
Have ourselves a hell of a night
Expectation of having an extremely enjoyable time
Look up in that Carolina sky
Looking at the sky in North Carolina
Let that moon shine, all night, take your breath away
Desire for the moonlight to last all night, creating a breathtaking experience
Like an old sweet song that daddy used to play
Comparing the impact of the moonlight to a nostalgic, comforting melody from the past
And it takes me back to a simpler place and time
Evoking memories of a simpler, easier period in life
When we used to kick back
Recalling a time of relaxation and leisure
And let the moon shine
Allowing oneself to enjoy the beauty of the moonshine
So let the moon shine
Reiterating the encouragement to bask in the moon's light
It's been a long time
Highlighting the passage of an extended duration
Since we felt that creek
Recalling a past experience of feeling a creek's water
Running cold and clear over our bare feet
Describing the sensation of natural water flowing over bare feet
Baby, you don't know but this right here's the same water my old man used in his still
Connecting the water's source to a familial history of moonshine production
I still remember what he used to say
Remembering words spoken by the speaker's father
Let that moon shine, all night, take your breath away
Desire for the enduring presence of moonlight, creating an enchanting experience
Like an old sweet song that daddy used to play
Comparing the effect of moonlight to a nostalgic, familiar tune from the past
And it takes me back to a simpler place and time
Inducing memories of a simpler, more innocent time
When we used to kick back
Recollecting moments of relaxation and ease
And let the moon shine
Allowing oneself to appreciate the beauty of moonshine
So let the moon shine
Reiterating the encouragement to embrace and enjoy the moon's illumination
It burns me up and lights a fire in my soul
Feeling intense emotions that stir the soul
Well get you a sip
Encouragement to take a drink of whiskey
And let the whiskey take control
Allowing the whiskey to take over and guide the experience
Let that moon shine, all night, take your breath away
Desiring the continuous presence of moonlight, creating a captivating atmosphere
Like an old sweet song that daddy used to play
Comparing the impact of moonlight to a comforting, reminiscent melody from the past
And it takes me back to a simpler place and time
Eliciting memories of a simpler, more uncomplicated time
When we used to kick back
Recalling moments of relaxation and leisure
And let the moon shine
Encouraging the appreciation of the beauty of moonshine
Let's let the moon shine
Inviting the moon to shine brightly
You let the moon shine
Encouraging the continuation of the moon's illumination
