Find the complete lyrics for “Play Your Games” by Greta Van Fleet. Produced by Greta Van Fleet, Mike Elizondo. Stream the track.
“Play Your Games” reads like a toast delivered at the edge of a cliff. Josh Kiszka opens the first verse with a request: “Pour me another round, just one for the road.” He is drinking the barrel dry to lighten a load he does not name, a choice that tips a hat on the way out the door. The chorus lands on a short, four-line command: “Play your games / Dance in the flames / And feel alright.” The words are directed outward but read like a mantra the narrator speaks to himself.

The second verse tightens the focus. Kiszka sings about morning arriving, about trouble beginning, about taking the center stage anyway. The fire was the point, not the rescue. The outro loops back to the opening image, the request for another round now tangled with the certainty that morning will come. For karaoke or a singalong, the chorus is the anchor. The official music video includes the lyrics on screen. Learn them, share them, or just let the track remind you that some choices are not mistakes. They are seasons.

— LYRICS —
[Verse 1]
Pour me another round
Just one for the road
I’m drinking the barrel dry
To lighten this load
Pour me another round
Then I’ve gotta go
Thanks for the wild ride
You rock and you roll
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Play your games
Play your games
Dance in the flames
And feel alright
[Post-Chorus]
A-woah-oh-woah
[Verse 2]
Let’s turn the lights down low
The night is still young
The morning will come around
The trouble’s begun
I’ll take the center stage
The good times a’roll
We’re in it together now
It’s time for a show
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Play your games
Play your games
Dance in the flames
And feel alright
[Chorus]
Play your games
Play your games
Dance in the flames
[Outro]
Pour me another round
Pour me another round
Morning will come around
Morning will come around
La-la-la-na-na-na
