lyrics

FOOT DOWN

You said that you were tired of fighting
I said that I was tired of dying inside
Let’s run away and leave this place behind
Let’s just drive and see what we can find.
You said that you were tired of working just to get by
That we are born and then we work and then we die.
And I couldn’t say that you were wrong,
So I pick up my guitar and I will play some songs, yeah
Singing for our supper and maybe for some pennies,
Tonight is the night, but it’s only one of many. And I said,

CHOROS:
Turn the stereo up, I’ll put my foot down
I’m just hoping that we make it to the next town,
I’m driving 50 and the car is shaking
If the music’s loud enough, we won’t hear it falling apart.

I’m glad you’re on this adventure with me,
and I know we haven’t got much money
but just think of all the things that we are gunna see
People that we’ll meet, who will become our family
and maybe we’ll have to abandon our ship
But at least we can say that we tried,
And I know that it sounds pretty cheesy
but it’s not the destination, it’s the glory of the ride
and who is silly enough to join you,
so here’s to all my friends who quit their jobs or called in sick
so we could hit the road with no direction
the world is our oyster and this is perfection

CHORUS

We got no direction, but we’re getting out of here
when I’m in your town, let’s meet up and grab a beer
I will send you postcards saying I wish you were here
Signed by all the punks, the squatters and the queers
Coz this is our family and I know it is a bubble
but writing three chords songs seems to keep me out of trouble
I just pour my heart out and it keeps me kinda sane
so to all my friends across the continent
I hope we meet again.

CHORUS
