Not Today
Three Chord progression, to simplify it down, I’m a bold pig-headed sing-abouter’ with not a lot of clout
I’m here to tell a story, about a dreamer true to heart, and I think he kinda looks like me but only in the dark
In the middle of this story, he needs to make a choice,
Should he get a job that’s nine to five instead of playing with the boys
SHOULD I LEARN THE DANCE OR SHOULD I LEARN TO SING? SHOULD I BUY MY GIRL OH THAT DIAMOND RING? OR SHOULD I GO TO BED INSTEAD OF DRINKIN OUT ALL NIGHT? SHOULD I QUIT ALL THIS AND GET ON WITH MY LIFE?
NOT TODAY….
I love my freedom to sing out loud, I love my band, love this town, I love my family they make me so damn proud
I love my freedom to sooth my mind with a tequila shot or the Northern Lights, or a hometown keggar that kept me out all night
SHOULD I LEARN THE DANCE OR SHOULD I LEARN TO SING? SHOULD I BUY MY GIRL OH THAT DIAMOND RING? OR SHOULD I GO TO BED INSTEAD OF DRINKIN OUT ALL NIGHT? SHOULD I QUIT ALL THIS AND GET ON WITH MY LIFE?
NOT TODAY….
Life’s too short to be a clone, to live to work is such a joke
I think it’s time to go home, everything’s so much better at home..don’t you think it’s better at home?
