Verse 2:
Sing all night and drive all day
Hey there's got to be a better way
When are we supposed to get our sleep?
Sometimes I love doing what I do
Other times I hate being away from you
And sometimes I cant believe I'm in this deep
Most times i get nervous inside
Try to hide if that's my pride
But I need a little encouragement now and then
Step out on the stage eyes wide
It always feels like my first time
I kick off a tune and I'm alright again
(Chorus)

2nd Chorus:
Things look good around here

There's a party goin on outside
This ain't the first time through
