I've been working through the weekend
And I haven't seen the sun in weeks
But I guess it's my fault when the late nights
Always seem to take the best of me
But I've got all these big dreams
and how the hell am I gonna make them all work out?
I remember what my father said:
"You gotta rise above to lead the way"
Scream and shout
Take what you want, the cold cash, girls and cars
On the jukebox in every bar
Giving all my tired heart
Sing along as it falls apart
Ay-oh, ayoh
Sing along as it falls apart
Ay-oh, ayoh
Staring deep into my coffee
Grip a cigarette between my teeth
But 3pm is no time to wake up in this December freeze
When my songs were in the jetstream
and the stars were close enough to all hang out
I remember what my father said:
"You gotta rise above to lead the way"
Scream and shout
Take what you want, the cold cash, girls and cars
On the jukebox in every bar
Giving all my tired heart
Sing along as it falls apart
Ay-oh, ayoh
Sing along as it falls apart
Ay-oh, ayoh
And I've been on my last breath since I started this gig
Has it all gone to hell?
Hell, I'm starting to think
That there's a big gray cloud that's been following me around
Oh, pouring down
Take what you want, the cold cash, girls and cars
On the jukebox in every bar
Giving all my tired heart
Sing along as it falls apart
Big house, 3-car garage
Ladies know just what I want
Break all the bad girl hearts
Sing along as it falls apart
Ay-oh, ayoh
Sing along as it falls apart
Ay-oh, ayoh
Sing along as it falls apart
Ay-oh, ayoh
Sing along as it falls apart
Ay-oh, ayoh
Sing along as it falls apart
