Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eagle-Eye
Kick the bass for the brothers
And let 'em know what's goin' on
[Verse 2]
You say what you say and you pray that one day
You'll be soon between the shadows now
That's a waste of your pain, livin' your life like a saint
When it don't, no, don't even matter
[Verse 3]
Even saints make their mistakes, lettin' their dreams fall and break
All it feels like livin' in sunshine with the shades pulled down
Now I want you to see how good life can be
You can turn it around and better your life with the good times found
[Verse 4]
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it, you'll be lost and found
Livin' in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
[Verse 5]
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it, you'll be lost and found
Livin' in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
[Verse 6]
It's just rockin' to the beat y'all
To the beach y'all, c'mon y'all
[Verse 7]
I'm not afraid of pride when it's for the right side
Don't betray what I believe in
Stand where you wanna stand and I'll believe when I can
'Cause I'm tellin' ya now I've been where you're livin' in
[Verse 8]
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it, you'll be lost and found
Livin' in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
[Verse 9]
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it, you'll be lost and found
Livin' in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
[Verse 10]
Tomorrow keep it's promise
No one here can say
The past is all behind us
And all we have is today
And all we have is today
[Verse 11]
Now, now, yeah, don't quit it now, sunshine
Don't stop now, sunshine, yeah
A-don't break the dawn
Don't love  your daddy, we like to party
Don't cause trouble, don't bother nobody
I love ya daddy, we like to party
[Verse 12]
People will always take the long way around (Yes, yes y'all)
Before you know it, you'll be lost and found (To the beach y'all)
Livin' in sunshine with the shades pulled down (Yes, yes y'all)
People will always take the long way around (Don't quit, don't quit)
[Verse 13]
People will always take the long way around (Yes, yes y'all)
Before you know it, you'll be lost and found (To the beach y'all)
Livin' in sunshine with the shades pulled down (Yes, yes y'all)
People will always take the long way around (Don't quit, don't quit)
