Well I remember kicking back in-highschool, out-by-the-pool
Friends gather round, cuz the folks outta town
Swanski’s buying beer with a mascara mustache
Charging us $20 when when the shit only cost half
Watch-your damn lighters cuz they never last long
With a lighter thief around, but everyone belong
Ice up the coolers so we’re-not drinking warm beer
Cannonball will get ya if you sit too near
Turn up the Tunes, man If you could
Can’t remember what we played It always felt good
Riding round in shitty cars & drinking cheep beer
If you’re looking for good times, they’re always right there, cuz
I survived the High school summers, Felt so alive (yeah)
I survived the High school summers - It was such a ride
We were always driving ‘round looking for a place to drink
Can someone pick me up, cuz ain't got no pink slip
Gravel roads, Back Yards and Parents out of town
Is how we partied back when we were the clowns
Didn’t need cell phones, we always had a big plan
Meet up at Mickey D’s if the shit hits the fan
Franklin’s starting fights with every-one he meets
Let’s score another case of beer and watch out for police
Turn up the Tunes, man If you could
Can’t remember what we played It always felt good
Riding round in shitty cars & Drinking cheap beer
If you’re looking for good times, they’re always right there, cuz
I survived the High school summers - Felt so alive (yeah)
I survived the High school summers - It was such a ride (yeah)
I survived the High school summers - Felt so alive (yeah)
I survived the High school summers - It was such a ride
Everytime I’m thinking back to high school I’m losing track
Memories unfold like, Like a big stack
Everytime I’m thing back to high school I’m losing track
Memories…Un-foldLet’s -a- Go! Let’s -a- Go!
Falling in love under-the-blue-skies
Let’s -a- Go! Let’s -a- Go!
With a girl That I just met, yeah
Let’s -a- Go! Let’s -a- Go!
Waiting for the fireworks on the school grounds
Let’s -a- Go! Let’s -a- Go!
Backpack beers and some friends of mineOh…cuz

Well I wake up surly / It’s a little too early /
till i roll over - here we go
Got my favorite drug just waiting for a hug
and she’s always ready to go
Well we lay in Bed / It goes right to my Head
Can’t ever seem to get enough
I (A) know I got a little bit of something that shouldn’t have
But it’s my favorite drug
SHE blew my and mind… all the time…
SHE blew my and mind…all the time…
Sometimes I’m lazy / Get a little crazy
Always come back to you
FirstTaste always free, but i’m always
Knees, no matter what you do
When we get high / Time flies by
And I’ll always find it to your door
They can lock me up / or who give a fuck
I always want a little bit more
SHE blew my and mind… all the time…

Addicted to her baby, yeah yeah (2x)
Down the rabbit hole we go
Without a Care or Rope or Self control
Swinging from the chandeliers
One less night to live our fears
(Just) Follow me, Don’t be slow
Catchup now, here we go
Hurry now take my hand
We’re gonna make them understand
Cuz I’m, I’m, I’m… I’m, I’m, I’m…

You’ve got to slow down
Slow it way down
Oh, yeah, yeah
Wake up in the Morning / Feel the sunshine it’s a Warming
And I’m given it least one more day
Well I got a little something / that will likely come from nothing
And it always making me feel this way
You can hide from the light / But it’ll get you each time
Let those rays give you sight
You can stress or digress / Turn it to success because
everything will be alright
I said oh, yeah.
You’ve got to slow down
Slow it way down…
Down by the water / feel the soft sand / gettin’ Hotter
Ditch those clothes and then dive into the salt
Feel the waves a bob around / soakin’ in the big sound
You know that life's too short
Feel the rhythm, the rhyme / Life's a journey,
Takes time / Every step leads to the light
Well the change comes your way / Face them boldly, OK
Cuz everything will be alright
I said oh, yeah.
You’ve got to slow down
Slow it way down…

She got the polka dot bikini / Dockside martini
Unspoken always wet / Don’t think she sees me
She never looks upset / It’s more like a feeling
Lying on the deck / Staring at the ceiling
Getting up the nerve / Finally gonna chat her up
Too many beers / Man, I gotta lather up
Too many days / past her by / and it up
Today’s the big day / Finally gonna sack it up
Breezing through her hair / splashin’ on the cement
Cabana to the left / Towel flash / Warm scent
Pour another drink / Kick it back to reset
Not drunk enough / Man, I got some regrets
Burning in the sun / Shadow won’t sit still
Sounds like my life / I Think i need a refill
Nothing seems to help / Nothing seems to fulfill
Don’t want to regret another day not meeting her
Gonna, Gonna get it right this time
Gonna, Gonna get it right
Gonna, Gonna get it right this time
Gonna, Gonna get it right
I probably shouldn’t think too much
I probably shouldn’t drink too much
I probably shouldn’t care too much
I do
I probably shouldn’t-internalize
I probably shouldn’t verbalize
I probably shouldn’t scrutinize
I do
Gonna, Gonna get it right this time
Gonna, Gonna get it right
Hello, Hello / bumped into her grace-fully
Drunkard on a boat tossed around aimlessly
Headed to the can / lost it all spatially
Here’s my big chance, don’t break the fantasy
Done…with the wait / Done with the time
Done…with the place / Done with the lines
I hear it on the the battle / Hear it all the time
…Come Baby - it’s time to get it started up
Gonna, Gonna get it right this time
Gonna, Gonna get it right
Gonna, Gonna get it right this time
Gonna, Gonna get it right

A piece of me is gone now
She left us on Thanksgiving day
This world is hard on everybody
But it carries some people away
It carries some people away
I still feel like I'm drowning
Catching my breath is a chore
I walk around and try to look normal
But my heart doesn't work anymore
My heart doesn't work anymore
Ania is everywhere
Ania is everywhere
Her ink is on my skin
Her mark is on my soul
This world is hard on everybody
Sometimes you just lose control
Sometimes you just lose control
Ania is everywhere
Ania is everywhere
