Lyrics
[verse]
This little town's been sleeping through the years
Rules stacked up higher than the walls could bear
But I can hear a rhythm underneath the floor
Waking up a hunger we can't ignore
[verse]
They locked the jukebox, shut the dance hall down
Said there ain't no room for moving in this town
But I've got rhythm burning underneath my skin
Somebody's gotta let the music back in
[chorus]
Kick off your shoes, cut yourself loose
Nobody's gonna stop this fire, it's no use
Come on, come on, break every rule tonight
Footloose, we're gonna dance until the light
[verse]
Every corner of this town is holding still
But the beat inside my chest can't be killed
We'll turn the sidewalks into a stage
We'll turn the silence into a brand new age
[chorus]
Kick off your shoes, cut yourself loose
Nobody's gonna stop this fire, it's no use
Come on, come on, break every rule tonight
Footloose, we're gonna dance until the light
[bridge]
Let the old walls shake, let the windows ring
This town's about to feel a different kind of thing
We ain't asking for permission anymore
We're kicking down every locked-up door
[chorus]
Kick off your shoes, cut yourself loose
Nobody's gonna stop this fire, it's no use
Come on, come on, break every rule tonight
Footloose, we're gonna dance until the light
