Lyrics
[Verse 1]
For me, it's a beach bar
Or on a boat, underneath the stars
Or with my band up on a stage
For a while, everything's ok
[Verse 2]
For some it's a fast car
Moonshine in a mason jar
And everybody has their way
Somehow to escape
[Verse 3]
Reality, yeah, sometimes life
Ain't all that it's cracked up to be
So let's take a chance and live this fantasy
'Cause everybody needs to break free
From reality, oh, yeah
[Verse 4]
Yeah, some days it's a bitch, it's a bummer
We need a rock n roll show in the summer
To let the music take us away
Take our minds to a better place
[Verse 5]
Where we feel that sense of freedom
Leave our worries behind, we don't need 'em
All we need is a sunny day and an old tailgate
And we'll escape!
[Verse 6]
Reality, yeah, sometimes life
Ain't all that it's cracked up to be
So let's take a chance and live this fantasy
'Cause everybody needs to break free
From reality
[Verse 7]
Everybody raise your hands and voice tonight
Set your soul free, let's take a carpet ride
We'll leave it all behind
[Verse 8]
Reality, yeah, sometimes life
Ain't all that it's cracked up to be
So let's take a chance and live this fantasy
'Cause everybody needs to break free
From reality, yeah, oh, yeah
[Verse 9]
C'mon everybody, break free
C'mon everybody, break free
