Chasing Days Like These (Remastered)
Chasing Days Like These Verse 1 Alarm went off but I was already up Barefoot on the beach with a half empty cup Salt on my skin before the world got loud Sun burning through the last of the clouds Called up the boys said meet me at nine Ain’t got nowhere to be and we got nothing but time Pre-Chorus These are the days you try to photograph But the camera never gets it right You just gotta live it, gotta hold it Gotta burn it in your mind Chorus Cold beer, backgammon, somebody’s keeping score Sauna sweating, laughing till our sides are sore Golden hour fading on the back nine green Lord I’d spend my whole life chasing days like these No phones, no pressure, nothing in between Just alive in it, God I love chasing days like these Verse 2 Somebody made a round on the gas station run Came back with scratchers and a case and a bag of chips, son We played eighteen like we owned the whole course Didn’t matter who won, well maybe a little of course Watched the sun go down from the nineteenth hole Felt it fill up something deep in my soul Pre-Chorus These are the days you tell your kids about When they ask you what it meant to live You say son it wasn’t money, wasn’t glory It was mornings you’d give anything to give back Chorus Cold beer, backgammon, somebody’s keeping score Sauna sweating, laughing till our sides are sore Golden hour fading on the back nine green Lord I’d spend my whole life chasing days like these No phones, no pressure, nothing in between Just alive in it, God I love chasing days like these Bridge Someday we’ll all be scattered, busy, far apart Kids and mortgages and all the things that break your heart But I swear on every summer, every sunrise, every round That I’ll find my way back to this feeling, to this sound Of nothing but the wind and my boys and a cold one in my hand Living easy, living grateful, living exactly as we planned Verse 3 (soft, pre-outro) The sauna cooled down, the beers ran dry Nobody wanted to be the first to say goodbye So we just sat there in the fading light Knowing damn well we’d chase it again Just not tonight Outro Here’s to the mornings that start before the noise Here’s to the coffee and the beach and the boys Here’s to the backgammon and the bets we never paid Here’s to every golden hour, every perfect day Chasing days like these Chasing days like these God I hope it never leaves Chasing days like these
