Long Neck Summer

Long Neck Summer Verse 1 Beat up truck, steel-toe boots, Already forty hours in, only halfway through. Boss keeps talkin' like the weekend ain't real, Another stack of overtime I don't wanna feel. Coffee's cold, paycheck's spent, Punchin' that clock just to pay the rent. Working like a dog ain't working for me... Man, I've already got one foot free. Pre-Chorus I'm gonna be sick tomorrow... Yeah, that's my excuse. Need a little sunshine... Need to cut these work boots loose. Chorus Long Neck Summer I'm gonna be sick tomorrow, I need a break. I need to be out fishin' out on that lake. I feel a good buzz comin' on... That Corona sounds good, don't it? Long Neck Summer... Ice down in the cooler, rods in the back. Buddy texted, "Boat's fueled up, bring the snacks." Leave that time clock somewhere in the dust... Today ain't about work... Today's about us. Verse 2 Pontoon floatin', radio loud, Pretty little bikini drawin' every crowd. Somebody cannonballs right off the side, Everybody's laughing with a beer held high. Sunburnt shoulders, shades on tight, Nothing but blue from left to right. If the fish don't bite, we really don't care... Ain't a bad day when your friends are there. Chorus Long Neck Summer I'm gonna be sick tomorrow, I need a break. I need to be out fishin' out on that lake. I feel a good buzz comin' on... That Corona sounds good, don't it? Long Neck Summer... Windows down with the small-town crew. Cold beer sweating like the whole day's through. Raise 'em up while the sun sinks low... Nowhere else in the world I'd rather go. Bridge Monday can wait... Bills'll still be there. Life gets gone in a damn big hurry... Better breathe that summer air. So call the boys... Tell 'em don't be late. There's a cooler full of memories... Waiting down at the lake. Final Chorus Long Neck Summer I'm gonna be sick tomorrow, I need a break. I need to be out fishin' out on that lake. I feel a good buzz comin' on... That Corona sounds good, don't it? Long Neck Summer... Another sunset painted red and gold. Stories getting better every time they're told. If this ain't living... Hell, I don't know what is. Long Neck Summer... Let's make it last as long as we can. [End]
