lyrics

There’s a chance of rain
This coming Saturday
But I got this six pack in my car
If you wanna go anyway
Heard you got a new tattoo
That’s got nothing to do with you
It’s a lyric from the band that you met last week
So I guess it’s cool
Another round of drinks
They think my ID’s fake
But we all got in with no problems
It was almost more than I could take
Got my suitcase back home
One day I’ll pack it and I’ll hit the road
See all there is to see
Wanna come with me
Bring some records and we’ll go

All work no play
Jack’s a dull boy every day
Watching his life slip away
But my friends and me
Gave it all up for a maybe
I think you could do the same

Get a nine to five
That’s how you’ll survive
Sophisticated, overrated
Perfect in their eyes
But we sold our souls
For rock and roll
All night drives and staying half high
And always being broke

All work no play
Jack’s a dull boy every day
Watching his life slip away
But my friends and me
Gave it all up for a maybe
I think you could do the same

The last four years have kicked my ass
Trying to balance my band with class
Paying bills and making paychecks last
But there’s something to be said
For singing these songs with my friends
Wall to wall in a basement

All work no play
Jack’s a dull boy every day
Watching his life slip away
But my friends and me
Gave it all up for a maybe
I think you could do the same

So do you want to scream your lungs out
In a parking lot
Fall asleep on hardwood floors
Hang out and smoke on your rooftop
We could even get a bit too sentimental
Like how I’ll never run out of reasons to
Spend my time with you.
