Down at Murphy's every Friday night
Neon buzzing in a dusty light
Boots on boards and a fiddle cry
Someone laughing, someone getting by
I saw you hiding by the jukebox glow
Like a secret nobody should know
You smiled quick then looked away
Like a game we used to play
Olly, Olly, Oxen Free
Come on out where I can see
Ain't no need to hide from me
Olly, Olly, Oxen Free
Call it love or memory
Call it what it used to be
Girl you know where I'll be
Singin' Olly, Olly, Oxen Free
Years rolled by like desert wind
Different towns, different sins
But that laugh still finds my ear
Like a ghost that pulled me here
Now the band plays slow and sweet
Your shadow sways across the street
If you're hiding in the dark
Baby leave a spark
Olly, Olly, Oxen Free
Come on out where I can see
Ain't no need to hide from me
Olly, Olly, Oxen Free
Call it fate or memory
Call it what it's meant to be
Girl you know where I'll be
Singin' Olly, Olly, Oxen Free
We were kids behind the water tower
Counting seconds, counting hours
One would hide and one would seek
Hearts were brave and knees were weak
Funny how the years go by
Still playing games we can't deny
But tonight the rules are easy
Just come find me
Olly, Olly, Oxen Free
Come on out where I can see
Ain't no need to hide from me
Olly, Olly, Oxen Free
Raise your glass and sing with me
Let the whole damn bar agree
Love's the best hide-and-seek
Olly, Olly, Oxen Free
