Story Behind The Song

True story about a hot day and trying to survive the heat. Bass player calls drummer. We end up not going swimming because we're so wasted and the Sheriff's Deputy is sitting at the access to the water hole! Drink more cold beer!

Lyrics

What do you do when there's nothing to do?
Do you call on some friends like some trav'lin' fool?
What can you do, tryin' to beat the heat -
Do you pick up the phone, find a place to meet?
Cold case of Bud and a fifth of Jack
Time to hit the road, the cooler's packed
Half an hour's drive and we'll soon be on air -
Gonna party it down with my good friends there

PRE-CHORUS
Not a care in the world - Not a cloud in the sky
Hangin' with friends, On a hot summer night
Sayin' "Cheers!" to You, And "Cheers!" to Me
Gazing at stars and Wond'ring what will be ~

Chorus:
I'm gonna live - ev'ry day of my life
The best way that I can
I--- wanna give - you a song for your heart
There's a way to start over again

Let's hit the trail, find that old swimming hole
Take a gravel road, so we can be alone~
Pass me a brew, and make sure that it's cold
We're poundin' 'em fast, the Jack's takin' hold
Gotta pull over, the girls gotta pee
I'll be goin' myself by over yonder tree
Back in the car, the air's nice and cold
Never did find that old swimmin' hole!

Pre-Chorus - Chorus - Instrumental Interlude

Chorus (1st half acapella):
I'---m gonna li-ive - ev'ry day of my life
The best way that I can
I--- wanna gi-ive - you a song for your heart
There's a way to start over aga~in
I'm gonna live - ev'ry day of my life
The best way that I can
I--- wanna give - you a song for your heart
There's a way to start over again ~
