I know it's a drag, I know it's a grind I know that a dollar ain't worth a dime Just trying to keep up with the Joneses at the end of the block I know you get tired, I know you get down I know you get sick of this soul sucking town But let's make a little lemonade if lemons is all we got 'Cause I'm stuck on you, you're stuck on me I never gotta wonder where my honey be I ain't savin' all my sugar for a Saturday night Seven days a week I got an appetite The sunsets like a tangerine Let's find a road we've never seen Don't waste another mile or a minute not kissin' me Life is short, make it sweet Open sky, glimpse of heaven, take the top off the CJ-7 Let that surfside San Anne wind mess up your hair And let that windshield frame the ocean Radio keep coast-to-coastin' If we don't get where we're going, baby I don't care I'm already there 'Cause I'm stuck on you, you're stuck on me I never gotta wonder where my honey be I ain't savin' all my sugar for a Saturday night Seven days a week I got an appetite The sunsets like a tangerine Let's find a road we've never seen Don't waste another mile or a minute not kissin' me Life is short, make it sweet Days will be long but the years will fly right by We'll never be as young as we are tonight Baby, ain't that right? Yeah 'Cause I'm stuck on you, you're stuck on me I never gotta wonder where my honey be I ain't savin' all my sugar for a Saturday night Seven days a week I got an appetite The sunsets like a tangerine Let's find a road we've never seen Don't waste another mile or a minute not kissin' me Life is short, make it sweet Life is short, make it sweet Oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah
