Lyrics

Go through my routine day after day The days and nights become a blur A creature of habit, the carpet knows my path My cars and my neighborhood sidewalks all concur

Taking comfort in the familiar I’m growin’ too old too fast I’ve got more yesterdays than tomorrows Just lookin’ for something that will last

C Thank heaven for the weekend Running into the ground is not my style Hanging out and making music Makes this livin’ life more worthwhile

V2 Come home in the evening, kick off my shoes Greeted by my dogs when I blow in the door Thoughts of the workday melt away in the comforts of home It all reminds me what I’m working for

Friday night I head to where I’m playing Happy to see the guys in the band Take my place behind my trusty ol’ B-3 Ain’t no better feeling in the land…whoa

Chorus

Bridge: None of us know how much time we have left But I’m trying to stick around long as I can Every day is still an adventure I’m havin’ all the fun that I can stand!

That chorus is so comfortable and relaxed. What an anthem to making the life you want and being exactly who you are. And also to putting the practice reps in to learn how to float inside the music.

man, you just keep coming up with these classic arrangements, That intro knocked me out and prepared me for the gems to come. loving that chorus and your singing reminds me of how al kooper handled the vocals on the first blood sweat and tears album.
