Soak Up the Sun (Live from the Ryman, 2019)

My friend the communist

Holds meetings in his RV

I can't afford his gas

So I'm stuck here watching TV

I don't have digital

I don't have diddly-squat

It's not having what you want

It's wanting what you've got

I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up

I'm gonna tell 'em that I've got no one to blame

For every time I feel lame, I'm lookin' up

I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm gonna soak up the sun

I've got a crummy job

It don't pay near enough

To buy the things it'd take

To win me some of your love

Every time I turn around

I'm lookin' up, you're lookin' down

Maybe something's wrong with you

That makes you act the way you do

I'm, I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up

I'm gonna tell 'em that I've got no one to blame

For every time I feel lame, I'm lookin' up

I'm gonna soak up the sun

While it's still free

I'm gonna soak up the sun

Before it goes out on me

Don't have no master suite

But I'm still the king of me

You have a fancy ride, but baby

I'm the one who has the key

Every time I turn around

I'm lookin' up, you're lookin' down

Maybe something's wrong with you

That makes you act the way you do

Maybe I am crazy too

I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up

I'm gonna tell 'em that I've got no one to blame

For every time I feel lame, I'm lookin' up

I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up (To lighten up)

I'm gonna tell 'em that I've got no one to blame

For every time I feel lame, I'm lookin' up (I'm lookin' up)

I'm gonna soak up the sun

I got my 45 on

So I can rock on
