Verse:
E
It’s about time, I can’t wait any longer
A
Got a winter-long thirst for where the sun is stronger
F#m A
I got nothin’ to do
E
We’ll talk about the days of old
A
And we’ll sit around and drink beer that’s cold
F#m A E/G#
We both know there’s nothin’ better to do
Pre-Chorus
A G#m F#m E
No more workin’ all day, nothin’ making us stay
A B
Except it’s better here now than it was yesterday
Chorus:
E A F#m B
It’s alright as long as you don’t mind a good time on a Friday night and it’s
E A F#m G#m
Robert Keen, he’s floatin’ on a breeze through the cedar trees
A B E
And it’s all I need to set me free
Verse:
Sittin’ in the back of this pickup truck
I know I’ve no shortage of luck
On this Texas summer day
Drivin’ through the river well it soothes my soul
Sippin’ iced tea and I feel at home
Content to know no other way
Pre-Chorus
Got ol’ Lyle on the stereo, got an endless dirt road
Got nowhere that I gotta go
Chorus
Solos over Chorus
2nd half of Chorus
