Well we showed up a little bit late for the party
But no one was there so we got the party started
So we thought we’d rearrange
Man this furniture is strange
Lets crack that liquor cab
Man hit up that Barcardi
So we kicked off our shoes and made ourselves comfortable
Dug through the cabinets and found the little stereo
Open up the window man
Cooler than a fridge fan
Let’s crank those tunes
This afternoon
And turn up this ol party
Oh Let’s get it going
Who do we know
That might show
To get this flowing
So we lit a big fatty
Chilling on the balcony
People strolling by yelling
Man, you got some good weed!
Buzz us up we’ll bring some cups
Ice, beer is that enough
That’ll do
Bring some girls
Head on up 222
What happens in this party
Stays at this party
This girl next to me
Keeps whispering my way
The party’s really growing
But the owner wasn’t showing
But that’s alrightIt’s OK
All is under control
Oh Let’s get it going
Who do we know
That might show
To get this flowing
Oh Let’s get it going
Who do we know
That might show
To get this flowing
This happens all the time
I swear I’ve lost my mind
I might toss my phone
When I blow it
This happens all the time
They’ll think I’ve lost my mind
I’ll blame my phone
When I blow it
So I checked all my messages
Between some tasty beverages
Oh shit man
Damn
We’re on the wrong premises
Grab your drinks
Ice beer
WaitHow’s it over there
Kind of lame
Kind of sucks
Let’s move the party over there
So it got a little crowded
When-someone finally shouted
The guy who own this place is here
For that I hadn’t accounted
He’s pretty cool he’s got a beer
He’s chatting up some red hair
Life it pretty great, man
Let’s raise a cheers to
Oh Let’s get it going
Who do we know
That might show
To get this flowing
Oh Let’s get it going
Who do we know
That might show

I kind a like it got a little bitty smile
Gonna turn the music up for a little bitty while
While I sit and lay swinging from this old palm tree
With my speaker on my chest and a beer between my knees
Smile getting bigger as music sinking in
Turning up the volume knob as the intro rolls in
Hammock feeling good as I space out to the sea
People gather round but nothing bother me
But I don’t
But I won’t
Won’t yield completely
Disapproving eyes never felt so sweetly
Melt into the sand
Melt into the scenery
Notes sinking in like the clouds into the greenery
Sorry I’m turning it up
Sorry but I don’t give a f
Sorry for wasting your time while you’re yelling at me
I close my eyes and feel nothing soft sand
Notes soaking in like sun-screen bad tan
Colors passing by like a technicolor day dream
Filling up my ears like a kid loves ice cream
I can’t help it but I feel the world needs this
The love in the song man the world needs this
The least you could do it conceded this
So I’ll turn it up more cuz we all need
But I don’t
But I won’t
Won’t yield completely
Disapproving eyes never felt so sweetly
Melt into the sand
Melt into the scenery
Notes sinking in like the clouds into the greenery
Sorry I’m turning it up
Sorry but I don’t give a f
Sorry for wasting your time while you’re yelling at me
Sorry I don’t give a damn
Sorry I am who I am
Sorry I wasted your time looks like your listening with meOooooo
She be looking for a reason
To ditch out this season and
Go down
Down
Down
Down
She be waiting in the sand
Just to hold your hand
And go down
Down
Down
Down
She’s got your number
To see her next summer
Go down
Down
Down
Down
You wish you could extend
That’s how they always end
Go Down
She left a little early man I think we got our dates wrong
Damn it’s good to see her though It’s been too long
Summer flings are always crazy man and never long enough
You go your separate ways it’s always real rough
If you guys need me man i’ll be right here
Swinging in this hammock and sucking on a cheap beer
Jamming out some tunes thinking bout the good times
Sun drenched memories everything’s just fine Sorry I’m turning it up
Sorry but I don’t give a f
Sorry for wasting your time while you’re yelling at me
Sorry I don’t give a damn
Sorry I am who I am
Sorry I wasted your time looks like your listening with me

Get a little bit of loving in your life
Make it feel better
Something just about it makes it just seem right
Nothing last for ever
Got a little time but lost it’s temper
Blew my mind but it’s just better
Get a little bit of loving in your life
It will get better
Now we stop
Staring at the clock
To the mind
To the time
Slipping ticky toc
To this Day
You wake
Me up
Now we Roll
Grab our stuff and go
To the beach
I believe
I don’t really know
If the Swell
Will
Really
Show
Girly in the backseat
Stripping to her bear feet
Wetsuit drying on the hood while she begging me
To take
Her home
For good
Get a little bit of loving in your life
Make it feel better
Something just about it makes it just seem right
Nothing last for ever
Got a little time but lost it’s temper
Blew my mind but it’s just better
Get a little bit of loving in your life
It will get better
I don’t want to stop this clock
It’s Life
It’s fine it’s always locked
There’s nothing you can do
It shouldn’t be a shock
Enjoy it while you got it man
Live it at the top
Locked in
Socked in
Voluntary blocked in
Separated
Overrated
Decorated topping
Tourniquet
Burning it
Losing it
Toss-ing
Netflix
Amazon
Giving out my login
Now we go
Head out and explode
To the strip
It’s a trip slipping tippy-toe
Through the girls
I used
To know
Look alive
She’s standing at your five
Turn around
Like a clown
Hoping I survive
Will
She Want
To Go
Girly on the patio
Says she liked our last show
Heat lamp baking like the sun while I’m beggin’ her to
To take
Me home
For good
Get a little bit of loving in your life
Make it feel better
Something just about it makes it just seem right
Nothing last for ever
Got a little time but lost it’s temper
Blew my mind but it’s just better
Get a little bit of loving in your life
It will get better

Let’s get drunk
Say things we wouldn’t say
Let’s find a wave
Oh float away
Let’s turn attention to the life that’s flashing by
We’ll let it ride
Uh
We’ll let it ride
Let’s get high
Dance under the moon
Let’s throw our keys
Into the next lagoon
Let’s pay attention to the life that’s passing by
We’ll let it ride
Uh
We’ll let it ride
Pretend we’ll live forever
And Do whatever we feel
We’ve got low standards
And lots of time to kill
It’s the perfect time
To let it Ride
So you feel it
Do it like you mean it
You only get one try
Let's let it Ride!
Man don’t waste it
I can almost taste it
Everybody’s on your side
So let it ride
Let’s take a ride
Feel the salty air
Our bikes outside
Disappear
Let’s pay attention to the life that’s flashing by
We’ll let it ride
Uh
We’ll let it ride
Let’s take a swim
Our clothes will be fine here
Let’s feel the cool
Oh I need a beer
Let’s turn attention to the life that’s cruising
We’ll let it ride
Uh
We’ll let it ride
Pretend we’ll live forever
And Do whatever we feel
We’ve got low standards
And lots of time to kill
It’s the perfect time
So let it Ride
So you feel it
Do it like you mean it
You only get one try
Let's let it Ride!
Don’t waste it
I can almost taste it
Everybody’s on your side
So let it ride

Load up on love
Kiss them goodbye
Headed on the road today
Rollin’ like a bike
Pick up the mic
Let’s treat this like a holiday
Drive off tonight
Feeling alright
Nothing ever goes as planned
Faded into black
Never headed back
Speeding to the very end
I’m gonna Win
Some day
I’ll gonna keep on driving
Gonna keep on vibing
Gonna finally get my way
They can push me around
Trash my good name
Doesn’t matter what you say
Nothin’s gonna sting
Burn hurt or cling
Nothin’s gonna block my way
Feeling alright
Tuned up the night
Looking out for myself again
Shaking off the fate
Soaking in the great
Speeding off the very end
I’m gonna Win
Some day
I’ll gonna keep on driving
Gonna keep on vibing
Gonna finally get my way
I’m gonna Win
Some How
I’m Never gonna break
Never gonna shake
They’re never gonna get me down
They’re gonna knock me
Stop me
Gonna try and rock me
Get in one stop
To lock and try and block me
Till we on attack
Attack until they unlock me
No one better get in my way
We’re gonna kick back
Until they crack
We’re gonna hit back
On the attack
They’re gonna tick toc ticking
Until we get flippin’
No one better get in my way
I’m gonna Win
Some day
I’ll gonna keep on driving
Gonna keep on vibing
Gonna finally get my way
I’m gonna Win
Some How
I’m Never gonna break
Never gonna shake
They’re never gonna get me down

We were best of friends
The kind of friends that never ends
Oh man we had it all
We would double date
Stay up all night
Over ate suddenly you wouldn’t call
You started ditchin’ class
All we got in were spats
Where could you go
Wouldn’t return my calls
Started busting my balls
Man i just don’t know
I was looking for you
She was looking for you
Parents looking for you
He was looking for you too
We were drinking thinking
beer mug clinking
Our way through the afternoon
We were tossing back
shots of Jack and Kerouac
Till you pulled the (para)chute
I saw you leave the bar
You didn’t have to go far
Where could you go
I saw you grab your coat
You didn’t leave a note
Man i just don’t know
I was looking for you
She was looking for you
Parents looking for you
He was looking for you too
They were looking for you
We were looking for you
The cops were looking for you too
I was looking for you
She was looking for you
Parents looking for you
He was looking for you too
They were looking for you
We were looking for you
The cops were looking for you too

Before there is
Before there was before there will be the light of day she revealed herself
I found the most beautiful light within the darkness there and I swear it was love
Your a beautiful sunshine girl but I, I love the moon
I didn’t know till I sat with you one night on the porch swinging to and fro
I looked over saw you smile right back at me I looked up saw the moon then remembered about we
It was the tiniest of light glowing just there
But in a moment a great heavenly sphere
I was enchanted I was under her spell
The warmth and light compelled me I could not avert my stare
Your a beautiful sunshine girl, but I love the moon
Your a beautiful sunshine girl, but I love the moon
Breathe in breathe out
I let the darkness fill me
I feel the fullness without
So the light within can shine its own way
Like the moon in the night reflects the sun’s bright gaze
Your a beautiful sunshine girl, but I love the moon
Your a beautiful sunshine girl, but I love the moon
But I love the moon

She's got one little voice, sounds (Like no) type of choice
And she's dealing with the feeling trying to make some noise
Tick-tock ticking it's time to get kicking
And let the world hear your plan
Now we've 2 little voices, both equal on their choices
Both standing, understanding trying to make a little noise
Adding up the numbers and soon we'll outnumber
All the people that run this land
We will hold our heads up
We will hold our heads up
We will hold our heads up
& Walk as one
She's been drawing quite a crowd all standing up proud
Believing in the things their fighting (For) never backing down
Infiltrating ranks, no need for guns or tanks
The words are finally catching on
Now she's buried in the crowd / no longer standing out
Just a speck in a dust storm, rain in an endless drought
Don't waste your time gauging / Opinions finally changing
Gonna make this world a better place
We will hold our heads up
We will hold our heads up
We will hold our heads up
& Walk as one
We will hold our heads up
We will hold our heads up
We will hold our heads up
& Walk as one
Shot guns, big ones, air fire, well done
Toasty oats burning, melting in the hot sun
Light em up brother, don't need to kill another
To change the world we're living in
Time warp, peace corp, Stick it in their front door
Don't need to jam it down their throat with billion pounds of war
To reason with this treason, entering their region
Just to jack up our score
We will hold our heads up
We will hold our heads up
We will hold our heads up
& Walk as one
We will hold our heads up
We will hold our heads up
We will hold our heads up
& Walk as one

The roof don't leak upon my head
The rain don't fall into my bed
When I'm with you
The rent gets paid on the first each month
And the landlord takes me out to lunch
When I'm with you
Cuz you...make me feel
Like it's gonna be okay
Cuz you...make me feel
Like the world's alright
The days they all move nice and slow
Tom Petty plays on the radio
When I'm with you
My favorite teams, they all win
And the shots that I take all go in
When I'm with you
Cuz you...make me feel
Like it's gonna be okay
Cuz you...make me feel
Like the world's alright
Whenever I walk down the street
All the people smile at me
When I'm with you
My sandwiches, they're all fresh
And the beer that I buy tastes the best
When I'm with you
Cuz you...make me feel
Like it's gonna be okay
Cuz you...make me feel
Like the world's alright
Like the world's alright
Like the world's alright
Like the world's alright

Get your head up
Sleeping with the bed bugs
Putting on the jacket arm
Man just ready to go
Pull on the jeans
Seems
Busting out the gasolines
Like a Lighter in the pocket and a man just ready to go
She got her hair pulled back off her forehead
Looking past all those things
Just ready to go
Like a pistol in a pocket with the safety off
Like a gun baby she’s just ready to blow
Get your head up
Gotta shake that big butt
Up at the world
Tick tock Man
That’s all that you know
Lace up the shoes
Choose
Flavor of today’s news
Heading out the door
Score
Ride and away you go
He’s got his hair slicked back like stallion
Determination man his skin is starting to glow
Like a pistol in a pocket with the safety off
Like a gun baby he’s ready to blow
Oh oh
Time waits for nobody
Nobody waits to get old
Tick toc ticking
Baby
Time’s up come on let’s go
Hold your head up
You got the big love
Let’s make some big noise
While we’re getting up
Think you got me
But it’s a crap shoot
Your the trapped one
I ain’t gonna loseYou can hold me
But I can bust out
You’re the one here
Who’s really going down
It’s a long road
But I got all day
Bring it on man
Or just get outta my way
Get your head up
Sleeping with the bed bugs
Putting on the jacket arm
Man just ready to go
Pull on the jeans
Seems
Busting out the gasolines
Like a Lighter in the pocket and a man just ready to go
She got her hair pulled back off her forehead
Looking past all those things
Just ready to go
Like a pistol in a pocket with the safety off
Like a gun baby she’s just ready to blow
Oh oh
Time waits for nobody
Nobody waits to get old
Tick toc ticking
Baby
Time’s up come on let’s go

They’re not fooling around
With the time that you’ve found
It’s the time that have
If we waste it we drown
So we slow down
No more jewelry, rings
Necklaces-bling
The brand names you bought
Don’t mean a thing
Until we slow down
Burning through worth / It’s all just a fault
Burning through life / man, paying it off
Burning your time / When your time comes to bat
You can’t buy your way back
You’re at the scene of the crime
If your wasting your time
You’re only given so much
Use it up or resign
Or we slow down
We tend to bury the things
When they ain't got no strings
They aint making sense
But still, yet it still clings
So we slow down
Burning through worth / It’s all just a fault
Burning through life / man, paying it off
Burning your time / When your time comes to bat
You can’t buy your way back
Can’t take it with you when you go…
Can’t take it with you when you go…
Can’t take it with you when you go…
Give it to the young guy sleeping in the park
Give to blind girl living in the dark
Give it to the old man talkin’ to himself
If you’re not gonna use it, give it to someone else
They’re not fooling around
With the time that you’ve found
It’s the time that have
If we waste it we drown
So we slow down
No more jewelry, rings
Necklaces-bling
The brand names you bought
Don’t mean a thing
Until we slow down

We will Fight
We will Rise
We will Stand right there together
Until we take that prize
We will Bleed
We will Smile
We'll pull our strength together
Until it gets us by
Cuz everybody’s singing
Everybody gather round
We’re just winging it
Let’s just take it day
While we’re singing it
Pass around the bottle and
While we’re drinking it
Everybody come around
We will share
Sacrifice
We'll give them all a hand
Swallow our own pride
We will Heal
Reconcile
We'll build this bridge together
And go that extra mile
Cuz everybody’s singing
Everybody gather round
We’re just winging it
Let’s just take it day by day
While we’re singing it
Pass around the bottle
While we’re drinking it
Everybody come around
Whatchya thinking man
Everybody gather round
What we fighting ‘bout
Let’s just take it day by day
And not drag it out
We pass around the fatty and
While we roll it out
Everybody come around
We will Love
And we will Shine
We will Sing these songs together
Until the day we die
We will breath
And we will fly
We will join our souls together
Forgive what transpired
Everybody gather round
What we fighting ‘bout
Let’s just take it day by day
And not drag it out
We pass around the fatty and
While we roll it out
Everybody come around

Life Is your story
Don't make it boring
If you wouldn’t read it
What the hell you doing
Nothing ever just gonna fall in your lap
Take the world and shape it and make it your fact
Because your life Is your movie
It should be a beauty
Colorized and monetized
Sound track shakin’ booty
Life has a tendency to just write itself
The good ones take direction affection and health
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Don’t waste it
Because your life Is your novel
Drink it like a bottle
Tilt it on back and
Hit it full throttle
Find that thing you like that’ll just fill you up
If you’re still thirsty then find a new cup
Because your life Is your song
You should hum along
If you don’t like it
Figure out what’s wrong
You can change the channel and find a new track
A melody for everything is stuck in your head
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Don’t waste it
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Don’t waste it
Because your life Is your preacher
Use it like your teacher
Experience the world
Don’t wait out on the bleachers
You can beg forgiveness when your time’s up
Or just be a better person make it all up
Because your life Is your game
Don’t play it all the same
Keep that piece moving
Or you’ll go insane
Keep the dice a rolling and move to the next
Always something happening your life is your test
Life Is your story
Don't make it boring
If you wouldn’t read it
What the hell you doing
Nothing ever just gonna fall in your lap
Take the world and shape it and make it your fact
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Don’t waste it
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Don’t waste it
