Lyrics
[Intro]
Woo
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I always said, "You can sleep when you're dead"
Keep the pedal to the metal and the needle in the red
Bouncin' off the brick walls, swingin' at the curve balls
But lately I'm just tryin' to get out of the way 'cause
[Chorus]
Life's been, life's been, life's been, life's been comin' just a little too fast
I need to take it down a gear, have an ice cold beer, yeah, maybe a whole six pack
I need a long weekender with a pretty bartender and a blender full of laid on back
Get out of the spin my life's in, life's been comin' just a little too fast
A little too fast
[Verse 2]
I need to kick the Red Bull, keep the ice cooler full
Keep the limes in the bottle, kickin' back by the pool
I need a grass skirted lady playin' ukulele
That's the kind of dream I've been dreamin' 'cause lately
[Chorus]
Life's been, life's been, life's been, life's been comin' just a little too fast
I need to take it down a gear, have an ice cold beer, hell, maybe a whole twelve pack
I need a long weekender with a pretty bartender helpin' it to blow on past
With a few of my friends, yeah, life's been, life's been comin' just a little too fast
[Bridge]
Some things we all gotta get through
Till it's goin', goin', gone in the big rearview
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
Yeah, life's been, life's been, life's been, life's been comin' just a little too fast
I need to take it down a gear, have an ice cold beer, get faced on a whole case of that
I need a long weekender with a pretty bartender and a blender full of something that'll kick my ass
Get out of the spin my life's in, life's been comin' just a little too fast
I'll say it again, buddy, life's been, life's been comin' just a little too fast
[Outro]
Can I get an amen to that?
Yeah, life's been, life's been, life's been, life's been comin' just a little too fast
