I Got The Rest Of My Life

I used to come here often
Back when this place was still cool
Back when the glass was half empty
Back when these children were still skipping school

We’re lacing up our combat boots
We’ve never been in a war
The queen bee’s buzzing with the drones on the dance floor
All of us act like we’ve been here before

We’ve got tonight
We’ve got the rest of our lives
We’ve got tonight
We’ve got the rest of our lives

I’ve got this friend in Chicago
He will not work for food
He is a starving artist
Starving people can be so damn rude

Hey Dad, I ain’t that stupid
I am the prodigal son
Thank God I’ve got a home to return to
Cause all of my money is gone

And I still got the rest of my life
I got the rest of my life
I got the rest of my life

Oh, here I go
Swing the door open wide
Don’t the world look different in the morning?
What do you know
It’s turning one more time
Would you care to join me?

Cause we’ve got the rest of our lives

First they take your money
Then they stamp your hand
Then they beat you with the music from above
It gets so crowded in here, I can barely see the promised land

Well, I forgot my parachute
I’m falling fast and hard
Last night I landed in a beer garden
Then I woke up in a prison yard

They’re giving me the rest of my life
I got the rest of my life
They’re giving me the rest of my life

Oh, here I go
Swing the door open wide
Everything looks different in the morning
What do you know
It’s turning one more time
Would you care to join me?

Cause we’ve got the rest of our lives
We’ve got the rest of our lives
After tonight, we’ve got the rest of our lives
