lyrics

This morning I had a job
This afternoon I don't
I guess I'll go get a haircut
Not because I'm looking for a job
But because I never had the time to go

Then I'll hit Long Lake
By bike it's not that far
I always dive in
Even though it's shallow
Rock-bottom doesn't always have to feel that hard

I'm laid off so I'm making lemonade
Mid-stride, peak summer, got it made in the shade
Gonna bike, gonna swim, gonna play some guitar
Ain't got much money but what I've got I'll stretch it out far

Well, free time's only good if you got something to do
Otherwise I find it, gets old real quick
Sleep until the afternoon, then maybe take a nap
Feel bad about the wasted days, you can't get back

I'm laid off so I'm making lemonade
Mid-stride, peak summer, got it made in the shade
Gonna bike, gonna swim, gonna play some guitar
Ain't got much money but what I've got I'll stretch it out far

This morning I had a job
This afternoon I don't
