When The Good Times Roll

[craig0812]

Hey everybody. I'm a Canadian that lives in a border city called Windsor, Ontario. It's right next to Detroit, Michigan. I have a lot of memories going over to Detroit and watching Tigers games and driving on the highway towards RV parks and I wanted to write a nice song about how Americans know how to have a good time. You all work really hard but you play hard too and that's what the songs about. Hope you like it.

I wrote this song for Florida Georgia Line but they're not together anymore. Oh well, I thought I'd post it anyway. I might enter it into a competition down the road too. Hopefully it does well. Thanks for your feedback.

Every daughter and son has the time of their life
When they see a home run in the bottom of the ninth
Some of the daddies and moms give each other high fives
When the kids have fun watching under the lights
When players round third base fans in the stands lose their damn minds
And when they cross home plate players send a prayer up to the sky
And if it's Saturday, mom and dad got one more surprise
After the game gets played fireworks light up the kids eyes

Everybody's so fast when I look out my window
Nobody wants to be passed down all the roads that they know
When they hustle like that I see America's soul
Nobody wants to be last when the good times roll

The money you make doesn't grow on trees
Before you get paid you got a boss to please
You got to pull your weight until the end of the week
You got to work Mondays but on the weekend you're free
You can jack your truck then get yourself supersized fries
You can fall in love then buy a house two stories high
You can save it up then take the kids on Disney rides
You can make enough to give your kids better lives

Everybody's so fast when I look out my window
Nobody wants to be passed down all the roads that they know
When they hustle like that I see America's soul
Nobody wants to be last when the good times roll

Everybody on Friday knows
When the good times roll
The boss says that it's time to go
When the good times roll
Call your best friends up on the phone
When the good times roll
and crack a six pack when you get home

Everybody's so fast when I look out my window
Nobody wants to be passed down all the roads that they know
When they hustle like that I see America's soul
Nobody wants to be last

Everybody's so fast when I look out my window
Nobody wants to be passed down all the roads that they know
When they hustle like that I see America's soul
Nobody wants to be last when the good times roll

Welcome Craig. This is a good song, it has a bit of a Beck vibe to it. Nice rhythm, guitars and lyrics and vocals.
