O.A.R. (Of A Revolution) - This Town Lyrics






In the morning wake me up
And tell me everything
So I can understand your world
You can understand my dream
I could be anywhere
And you could be there with me
I just wanna be a ghost
And see everything
I don't want it to be the way they want it

This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put em up
Let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet
Put your worry down
Any every one of you all around
Come on y'all let's take this town

Its better that we keep this close
Keep you close to me
Walking under every sky
Over every scene
You could be my modern girl
And I could be the one you've found
If we're taking on the world today
I know we gotta leave this town
I don't want it to be the way they want it

This town, this light, this crowd
Come on put em up
Let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet
Put your worry down
Any every one of you all around
Come on y'all let's take this town

On our own, let's get away
Nothing more left here to see
Come on Love, make it perfect
More and more I will believe
Like a child I must believe
Come on y'all make it perfect
This town, this light, this crowd
Come on put em up
Let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet
Put your worry down
Any every one of you all around
Come on y'all let's take this town

  1. G.... ....

    Throwback ❤️

  2. M.... B....

    I saw these guys in Charlotte, NC. a couple years ago. Music was great but lead man seemed a
    bit tired and just getting through...I get pumped to music that is near
    and dear to my heart but didn't feel the same from him. He seemed obviously tired from a long road of live events. I had a great time in spite of his disconnection.

    I don't remember how many years ago it was but back when I used to go this summer camp there was this one year where it rained for 3 weeks straight. I remember being soaked through my clothes and getting back to the cabin with a friend of mine, and he went over to his ipod and started looking through his songs. He finally settled on this song and it made me feel lkke I didn't care about the rain for a while. I just wanted to say thanks O.A.R. for making this song

  15. A.... N....

    I've never met anyone who knew of this song, but every time I play it for people they say they love it... So why didn't this get more famous?!

    hey does anyone knows what's the town in the video clip ?

  26. V.... H....

    Who came from the Vanderbilt 2014 highlight video

  27. J.... T....

    This should have been the anthem for the Olympic Athletes from Russia (OAR) at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

  28. D.... ....

    That's pretty neat. Love it.

  29. S.... M....

    The fact that this song doesn't have more views kinda shocks me

  36. J.... H....

    I heard this song playing tonight at a steakhouse, and I knew I had to just look it up. I remember hearing it many years ago, but never knew who it was by. Now "This Town" is all about that One Direction kid, and that is NOT at all like this song!

  37. P.... G....

    Who here went to Good Counsel?

  38. j.... ....

    this was the reds song when they were good i saw oar at the scarlet and grey many times in my collage days and nick swisher was there too

  41. T.... H....

  42. D.... D....

    If they don't open every concert with this, they're crazy.

  43. T.... H....

    All OAR songs are awesome! Takes me back to better times.

  44. D.... D....

    I think ESPN used this in a promo for the College World Series in 2016.

  45. A.... ....

    love this song!!

  46. S.... F....

    How did this song not ever become a top 40 hit?  It has hooks all over it. A rock tune with enough funk to actually be able to dance to.  Well done gents(OAR)

  47. K.... p....

    111111111

  48. R.... W....

    These guys were ahead of their times musically. They'd be a huge hit right now in 2016.

  49. E.... ....

    Damn, this song takes me back.

  50. a.... ....

    i remember listening to this song when i was in second grade when my sister would put vh1 top 20 music countdown or something. i remember the sun would peek through the curtains and the air was so crisp^^ and when we would wait in the mornings of school, we would just watch our breaths because it was fun lmao. im 16 now and i moved to the other side of the city, but the air is thick and i go to school before the sun comes up so i never get to see the puffs of my breath or the sun slowly rise from the mountains, and morning car rides don't feel like a new day anymore but just another place to get 10 more minutes of sleep.

    a.... ....

    omg a person my age that likes OAR, and is relatable. lets be friends 😂

    a.... ....

    You ever consider writing song lyrics? Consider it.

  51. J.... N....

    One of the best bands around, period. If you have not seen them live, you are missing out. As good as they are recorded, the shows will knock your socks off.

    J.... N....

    My mom and dad have raised me on OAR for the longest time i have been to about 6 OAR concerts and my mom has been to about 14. Its our favorite band. Like you said they are amazing live! during one concert at red rocks that i went to Richie Sambora came onstage! i only remember about 4 of the concerts i have been to because im 14 and was super young when my parents brought me to concerts but still they are amazing!

    J.... N....

    You are correct sir. I've seen them live at least 15 times. Epic live performances man they have come along way from the 100 people shows at Orlando house of blues.

  52. k.... k....

    If you still jam to this..... lets be best friends

    k.... k....

    kittttygirl5 I just discovered them so do I still count?

    "I don't want it to be the way they wanted!!!" LOVE this song 

  76. N.... O....

    que buen tema..

  77. l.... ....

    This was once the college World Series theme song

    l.... ....

    still kinda is

    l.... ....

    The best CW SERIES song ever

    l.... ....

    Fresno State won that series as the Cinderella Team when they used this,Go Dogs

  78. T.... K....

    I like the was OAR use to be. Sounds to mainstream now. Way over produced.  

    T.... K....

    Do you like to eat your hot pockets directly out of the microwave too? You know, before it's cool.

    T.... K....

    @dan Montminy What I'm saying is. OAR had a great sound. They had soul you could feel the emotion in the words and the gritty vocals. They have lost the sound the separated them from everyone else. Not talking about hot pockets. And if cool in conforming to a mainstream boy band sound, Who the hell wants to be cool. Listen to their first album The Wanderer thats the sound that was true.

    T.... K....

    @dan Montminy Fucking awesome comment.

    T.... K....

    +Travis Kestell I have to say that they are pretty chill guys though. I met them about six or seven years ago.

    T.... K....

    +Travis Kestell It still says alot about a band when even their radio friendly poppy crap is still great. (totally agree tho God damn their older stuff is orgasmic)

  79. k.... k....

    THIS SONG MAKES ME SO HAPPY

  80. L.... W....

    Pretty awesome....

  81. w.... ....

  83. o.... 7....

    Realmusic

  84. G.... R....

    32 people have no taste in music.

  85. D.... F....

    Just love this song ♥♥♥♥

  86. R.... ....

    This song got me into OAR and when I hear it I think about the CHL Saskatoon Blades as they use it lots

  87. M.... M....

    Noooow batting....Daniel Murphy

  88. m.... ....

    The song that got me into OAR. Best band ever!

    m.... ....

    m.... ....

    Wow, best song ever

  89. B.... ....

    Cubs intro !!!!

    B.... ....

    Hah, used to be the Rockies intro too!

    B.... ....

    People in Denver love the cubs too.

    B.... ....

    @baseballking275
    Well, ya can't expect people in Denver to love the Rockies right now ;D
    Yeah there's a ton of Cubs fans here. I heard it has to do with pre-expansion, they would broadcast Cubs games here over the radio a lot.

    B.... ....

    @Endork cool

  90. u.... ....

    They opened with this song in vegas at Brooklyn bowl

  91. M.... M....

    aww i missed this song :"( 

  92. m.... ....

    Always think of UGA football in Athens when I hear OAR and this song In particular!!!

    m.... ....

    I think of UA when I hear About the South by Rodney Atkins 

    m.... ....

    I think of the 2010 CWS. GAMECOCKS

  93. J.... ....

    College World Series!!

    J.... ....

    Reminds me of reshman year in highschool when all I did was watch college baseball and that's all I ever wanted to do was play professionally...

    J.... ....

    Alex O'Boyle how'd it go? how far are you going with baseball?

  94. M.... ....

    I love hearing this song it brings back good memories XD

  95. R.... V....

    This band sucks big time waste.

    R.... V....

    Dont remember anyone asking for your opinion, all music is expression and if You don't like it, someone else will, so don't wave your opinion in front of all of our faces, thank you

    R.... V....

    @SpecificallyAcoustic If he shouldn't wave his opinion in front of our faces why are you waving yours?

    R.... V....

    @fuehrer hundert I missed where anyone waved his/her opinion. All that was said was close your mouth if you have nothing nice to say. There's enough negativity and we don't need people who only bring others down. If Ricky actually had some constructive criticism then that's different but since it was 100% negative there's no need. This is youtube, if you don't like it don't watch it and close your mouth about your negative opinion.

    R.... V....

    My mistake  was rateing another group, click on it by mistake the band is band I can relate 2 the words.

  96. N.... ....

    I just rediscovered this song because of an old Myspace survey I did in 2009. I had completely forgotten about it!

  97. A.... ....

    I love this song. Ahhh.

  98. J.... ....

    Are they Disney Channel?
