lyrics

V.1
I hate the sound of a hotel room when I’m on my way out
And the fact it rains every time I leave this town
I hate when I’m in a crowd of people I never felt so alone
But I can’t stand the thought of heading back home

Where the engineers blow those horns and hit their brakes
It knocks your picture off the desk and keeps me awake
At least I can look at it in the dark for a while
Only you and I know how much you make me smile

Chorus
Babe I hate the kids in this bar
Top 40 is all they want to hear out of this guitar
They shout without regard and bury their faces in their phones
I’m on stage in front of people all alone
A shoving match made me spill my final drink
So I sat down in the corner and got to thinking
There has really got to be something more
Than this tip box life




V.2
When I get back I’m going to wrap you up
In these arms of mine – we’ll spill the loving cup
We could stay in bed for 16 days
Laugh at our own stupid jokes and not fade away

It’s never a bad way to spend a Saturday night
Can’t ask for anything more out of this unfulfilled life

Chorus

Bridge:
Someday we won’t know what it is to scrape by
In downtown Chicago you’ll sway side to side
The kids in the crowd will finally hear what I’m singing
Harmony so sweet my ears’ll finally stop ringing

Chorus

Jake Mack is a Chicagoland artist and career musician who finds his voice in the throws of roots-Americana, and good, old- fashioned Rock and Roll. He is joined by The Lesser Stags, a more-than-capable bunch of like-minded musicians to create a progressive, yet classic, sound with notes of Blues, and twinkles of power pop. This quartet looks to the future while giving a reverent nod to the past. ... more
