AmSmoking cigarettes in a strip mall parking lot
DmThere’s nothing to do around here but hang out
CIsn’t that just like everywherGe else?
AmThere’s a war veteran standing by the interstate on-ramp
DmYeah, he’s asking for a ride; he’s hoping for a kick down
CAnything you can spare to give Ghelps
(chorus)
And as the Fsouthwest Florida Csun sets
(C) G/B Am
The sky’s painted hues pink and orange
CAll G/Bdirections are Amcalling
Life is Gwaiting to be Amruined
Life is Gwaiting to be Amruined
AmCity cops come down and they bust up the party
DmWe go to a diner, we drink bitter black coffee
CGas station billboard reads three forty-nine a Ggallon
AmWe’re coming down from the high, we’re starting to sober up
DmBoys crushing on girls crushing on boys into the southwest Florida Cmorning
We are still Gyoung
(chorus)
And as the Fsouthwest Florida Csun sets
(C) G/B Am
The sky’s painted hues pink and orange
CAll G/Bdirections are Amcalling
Life is Gwaiting to be Amruined
Life is Gwaiting to be Amruined
Life is Gwaiting to be CruGinAmed
