lyrics

I got a new life waiting
On the other side
Got my hand on your back, singing
Come on take a ride with me
We only make it by the light of day

Cause I got a new life waiting
Not some 9 to 5
Like all my coworkers say, come on let’s
Make it to Friday night
That really how you gonna live your life?

You wanna grow old?
So many years I spent paying the toll
But this can’t be the answer
Break out of your shell
All of these struggles sitting under my belt
But they ain’t gonna weigh me down

I’m over the pain
Don’t show me yesterday
Burning every bridge
That I got lost on

My eyes on the road
No matter where we go
I don’t mind killing time

Cause I got a new life waiting
On the other side
Got my hand on your back, singing
Come on take a ride with me
We only make it by the light of day

Cause I got a new life waiting
Not some 9 to 5
Like all my coworkers say, come on let’s
Make it to Friday night
That really how you gonna live your life?

I’m over the pain
Don’t show me yesterday
Burning every bridge
That I got lost on

My eyes on the road
No matter where we go
I don’t mind killing time
Cause I got a new life
Yeah I got a new life

And I miss old America
Suburban queens, all these political kings
What does it mean?
Go for broke
Let’s dive on in
Cause this is all we really got in the end

I got a new life waiting
On the other side
Got my hand on your back, singing
Come on take a ride with me
We only make it by the light
