Lyrics
Lakeside
(Verse 1)
I was in the city trying to earn my keep
Looking for a way just to make ends meet
When I got a call from a friend and he said, "you're just wasting your daytime" I had to decide if I would retreat
From the business mind to the real me
I'll just flip a coin to get right to the point and I'm picking the tail side (alright!)
(Chorus 1)
They ain't got no doors where you'd pay a fee
They ain't got a dress code you need to meet
All the friendly faces that you'd want to see
And they just want to see all of your smiling teeth when they're kicking it lakeside
(Verse 2)
I brought out the grill and the fold up seats
Rocky brought the links and the gator meat
People showing up with the kegs and the cups
Cause they heard it on the grapevine (grapevine)
Folks I haven't seen since I was in school
They're all taking turns acting like a fool
All I can say is "Laissez les bon temps rouler"
and I'm about to take mine
(Verse 3)
So when I'm feeling down and I need to see
That there is a place that will welcome me
I know there's a time and a place for everything
And I am on "great time" (great time!)
The sun is bearing down and its hard to beat
Steam is on the ground, not a cloud to see
I'm putting on my screen, grab my igloo and my green
It's officially playtime
