Lyrics
Cheap Thrills

Diving from the second story of the barn into a pile of hay
Watching the sun burn down in purple, red and gold to end the day
Lightning bugs dancing over summer lawns
Fish jumping up and the bobber going down
Priceless moments and attention's all you really have to pay...for
Chorus
Cheap thrills, not the kind on TV
Cheap thrills, not the ones in magazines
Just your every day and ordinary
Made by God and given freely
Little joys of life you see when we're just standing still
Cheap thrills
Hitting a baseball on the sweet spot in the middle of the bat
Riding on a broomstick horse with two squirt guns and looking for the cat
Telling ghost stories, camped out in the yard
Staying up till midnight counting shooting stars
And you know those stars are shining still and waiting right outside to take you back
Bridge
It's not a bigger house or Mercedes Benz
It's the rainbow not where the rainbow ends
Cheap thrills...cheap thrills
Chorus...
Miracles of life you see when we're just standing still
Cheap thrills...cheap thrills
