Lyrics

throughout my life I did my work
went to church and helped the poor
kept my family fed paid my bills on time
said Grace - never asked for more
locked down all year without my friends,
my folks, my favorite bar
broke a happy world, made a lonely heart
made me question near and far

there’s only so much one can take
before they feel they fade away
and doing all the things right
makes a difference - yet let me say

it’s time we got together to raise a little hell
to dance and sing and know we are not alone
it’s time we got together to raise a little hell
oh, my heart’s on fire and these boots got places to go

they say idle time is the devil’s play
I know I have much to do
oh this world’s a mess and it needs good folks
bringing light and tellin’ truths
and raise a voice to keep us bold
life‘s not a spectators game
to squeeze the ones we love, have a little fun
take these riches over fame

we’ve had hard times, lost some friends
life has no guarantees
singing songs and sharin’ pints
brings the weary heart some ease

chorus
