Andi Kravljaca - The Time of Your Life (Metal musician writes country song in 24 hours)
It occured to me to write a bona fide, real country song after seeing the excellent parody of a country song that Jared Dines wrote in 24 hours. So I put on my Jack Daniels hat, donned my 1960 Epiphone, and started strumming.
Lyrics:
Wake up Monday morning, shake the dreams out of my head
Sitting there in traffic, wondering what I could have done instead
And though I try to find a better way than down
It seems to me that there’s no hope in this here town
We all start out in living knowing that we’ll see the world
It all turns out inside out, in thirty years we’re all still here
And though we try to find a way out of this town
It seems to be you just can’t get up off the ground
And it’s first love, first date
Better marry quick cause you’re gonna run late
In your head still dreaming ‘bout a Cadillac
But out here spending time with a bottle of Jack
So raise a glass for all the dreams that die tonight
Then let go and just enjoy it, it’s the time of your life
It’s the time of your life
The kids all want a brand new phone and the car needs work again
Third week straight on overtime, makes you feel like you’re not there
And though you try to give them hope and make them fly
In twenty years they’ll just be living your life
First love, first date,
Better marry quick cause you’re gonna run late
In your head still dreaming ‘bout a Cadillac
But out here spending time with a bottle of Jack
So raise a glass for all the dreams that die tonight
Then let go and just enjoy it, it’s the time of your life
Feels like in just one year it’s gonna be alright
But in the meanwhile, just enjoy it
Cause it’s time for your first love, first date
Better marry quick cause you’re gonna run late
In your head still dreaming ‘bout a Cadillac
But out here spending time with a bottle of Jack
So raise a glass for all the dreams that die tonight
Turn it up and just enjoy it, cause it’s time
Tell the world out there it’s gonna be alright
Then let go and just enjoy it, it’s the time of your life
It’s the time of your life
