I woke up Tuesday morning
and I drank the beer I left beside my bed
Drank a pot of coffee just to ward away
the pounding in my head
Looked out my crooked window,
and saw that old flag flying blue and red
What songs will they be singing,
a hundred years from now when we’re all dead?
Sometimes we’re stupid, and no one cares
You wake up naked, or in your underwears
But this life’s worth it, best to take the chance
Honey you take the truth, and I’ll take the dare.
Now Tuesday’s gone and left me
and it’s 4AM again and I’m still up,
It’s hot as hell in Lodi
the days are falling all around like little raindrops
They said it’s pouring down in LA County,
Folks are dancing up on rooftops,
Feeling just like kids, left alone,
sitting in a candy shop
They say it’s gonna be a free ride,
It’s gonna be a high time
We’re gonna stay up all night,
We ain’t coming down.
So let me know if you want to come
I can promise that it’s gonna be fun
Just put your foot in,
cause we gonna be alrite.
And we’re gonna be stupid, cause no one cares
We can wake up naked, or in our underwears
Cause this life’s worth it, even though it ain’t fair
Honey you take the truth and I’ll take the dare
Sometimes we’re stupid, and no one cares
You wake up naked, or in your underwears
But this life’s worth it, best to take the chance
Honey you take the truth, and I’ll take the dare
Yeah Honey you take the truth, and I’ll take the dare
