When your train starts a rollin And the whistle catches your wistful ear There’s no hope in controllin’ Where the tracks may lead and if you’ll end up far or near But if you take the time in the by and by and open up your mind You might find That the road is open, here’s to hopin’ Now grab a slice of pie Go for the brakes, but you can’t find the line Flying off the rails one thought at a time Grinding of the wheels against the way that you feel, Welcome to the modern mind Colors muted, days diluted What was once freedom now convoluted Looking up, you see the tunnel now Dark times ahead til you bring yourself around Rise, from your waking sleep of days Sun beating down to burn away the haze Staring through the thin pane of glass Wind blowing fast creates waves in the grass Now that you’re grown, tracks take you home, to where you’re not alone Where you’ve always known That the road is open, here’s to hopin’ Now grab a slice of pie

You’re my sunshine, baby, darling Come on baby, let’s go party Set it all aside and just relax You don’t need no stress reaction Girl I got your satisfaction It’s just you and me When I’m feeling lonely You’re there to hold me Ooooo you know it’s true When I’m down and out You’re there without a doubt Everything is better with you I don’t need no trained physician Cause girl you are my penicillin I could never be sick of lovin’ you And I don’t need no damned religion Cause girl you are my superstition I prayed one day I’d meet someone like you When I’m feeling lonely You’re there to hold me Ooooo you know it’s true When I’m down and out You’re there without a doubt Everything is better with you You’re my sunshine, baby, darling Come on baby, let’s go party Set it all aside and just relax You don’t need no stress reaction Girl I got your satisfaction It’s just you and me

If life’s got ya down Way down on the ground Stuck on 495 Ya give EZ pass a try It was a 15 dollar toll n‘ you were just on a roll With that increase in rent Ya overdraft by 10 cents Can’t pay 30 dollar fees (Wasn’t it bad enough already) Tax refunds didn’t go through They’re gonna audit you too With no time for their interview There’s nothing you can do Cause waking up is tough If you’ve had enough And ya don’t feel the love (That you need to just get by) When life’s got ya down Way down on the ground Trust the friends that ya keep around Cause they lift up your frown When life’s got ya down And you’re feeling like ya need out Trust the friends that ya keep around To be there when it counts Spring forward cost you an hour Cold water in your shower That coffee burned your mouth Things keep going south Ya worked a 12 hour day Without overtime pay Work sucks I know (Adulting really really blows) At home n’ you're syked to relax There’s no pizza no snacks Plus your cat broke your bong What’s the point in stayin strong? Cause waking up is tough If you’ve had enough And ya don’t feel the love (That you need to just get by) If life’s got ya down Way down on the ground Trust the friends that ya keep around Cause they lift up your frown When life’s got ya down And you’re feeling like ya need out Trust the friends that ya keep around To be there when it counts If you’re down and out, Feel the need to cry and shout The best thing you can do Is ask those close to help ya through If life’s got ya down Way down on the ground Trust the friends that ya keep around Cause they lift up your frown When life’s got ya down And you’re feeling like ya need out Trust the friends that ya keep around To be there when it counts

See how we can make it on our own Be yourself, know you’re not alone To make the move gotta leave some behind Just stay true to what you feel inside If you’re told things you’re not to do Be yourself, be you through and through There's no time to waste away your days Do your do, take it all the way Now that I can see the burden that’s been weighin down on me is something that I've created in going down this path I traded a simple life the things I like all without even knowin that I’m right to take a chance, change the plans that I felt were once so clear With every challenge that we face, we grow stronger day by day, So long as we pave our own way and keep goin. (Hey! Hey!) Stay your course, even when it’s tough Trust yourself, push, don’t give it up The time is now, don’t let it pass you by Be here now, know that you will fly Now that I can see the burden that’s been weighin down on me is something that I've created in going down this path I traded a simple life the things I like all without even knowin that I’m right to take a chance, change the plans that I felt were once so clear With every challenge that we face, we grow stronger day by day, So long as we pave our own way and keep goin. (Hey! Hey!) Cause every challenge that we face makes us stronger every day, And we be pavin our own way. We keep goin: (Hey! Hey!)
