Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You and me, and a bottle, and we're almost at the bottom
And we're wonderin' what comes next
We ain't gettin' any younger, but we still got the hunger
And it's scarin' us both to death
[Verse 2]
How 'bout we do it the way we did when we were just kids
And we didn't know what we had?
It's goin' by fast, gotta slow down just to get up
Need a little, little more like that
[Verse 3]
Lean it on back
Watch the sun go down
Watch it come back around
Lean it on back
Take the long way home
You can't get it back when it's gone
Like a head buzzin' when you feel the beat drop
Yeah, let it hit you right in the sweet spot
Pushin' too hard, let out too fast
And you wanna make it last
Lean it on back
(Lean it on back, lean it on back, lean it on back)
Lean it on
(Lean it on back, lean it on back, lean it on back, yeah)
[Verse 4]
Like a bucket seat of a black Camaro
In a spot out by the lake
Where we turned up, we burned up
And stayed up way too late
In your grandad's old recliner
Sit and pour yourself another reminder
Of the times before, 'cause anymore
They don't make 'em like that
[Verse 5]
Lean it on back
Watch the sun go down
Watch it come back around
Lean it on back
Take the long way home
You can't get it back when it's gone
Like a head buzzin' when you feel the beat drop
Yeah, let it hit you right in the sweet spot
Pushin' too hard, let out too fast
And you wanna make it last
Lean it on back
(Lean it on back, lean it on back, lean it on back)
Lean it on
(Lean it on back, lean it on back, lean it on back, yeah)
[Verse 6]
Remember it's precious when it's all gone
Every breath it happens just once
[Verse 7]
So lean it on back
Watch the sun go down
Watch it come back around
Take the long way home
You can't get it back when it's gone
Like a head buzzin' when you feel the beat drop
Yeah, let it hit you right in the sweet spot
Pushin' too hard, let out too fast
And you wanna make it last
[Verse 8]
Lean it on back
Watch the sun go down
Watch it come back around
Lean it on back
Take the long way home
You can't get it back when it's gone
Like a head buzzin' when you feel the beat drop
Yeah, let it hit you right in the sweet spot
Pushin' too hard, let out too fast
And you wanna make it last
[Verse 9]
Lean it on back
(Lean it on back, lean it on back, lean it on back)
Lean it on back
(Lean it on back, lean it on back, lean it on back, yeah)
It's goin' by fast
(Lean it on back, lean it on back, lean it on back)
Why don't we rest?
(Lean it on back, lean it on back, lean it on back, yeah)
