For me it's a beach bar Or on a boat underneath the stars Or with my band up on a stage For a while everything's okay For some it's a fast car Moonshine in a mason jar And everybody has their way Somehow to escape Reality, yeah, sometimes life Ain't all that it's cracked up to be So let's take a chance and live this fantasy 'Cause everybody needs to break free from reality Yeah, some days it's a bitch, it's a bummer We need a rock and roll show in the summer To let the music take us away Take our minds to a better place Where we feel that sense of freedom Leave our worries behind, we don't need 'em All we need is a sunny day and an old tailgate And we'll escape Reality, yeah, sometimes life Ain't all that it's cracked up to be So let's take a chance and live this fantasy 'Cause everybody needs to break free from reality Everybody raise your hands and voice tonight Set your soul free, let's take a carpet ride We'll leave it all behind Reality, yeah, sometimes life Ain't all that it's cracked up to be So let's take a chance and live this fantasy 'Cause everybody needs to break free from reality Come on everybody, break free Come on everybody, break free
