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
