[Intro]

[Verse 1]

A D G

I haven't had to pay for a drink in a while

Watching these happy hours turn into years

A D G

I've been getting paid serving drinks for a while

These young girls they just stay the same

The lines are getting longer and they're not for me

A D G

I’ve been getting paid serving drinks for a while

Twenty four hours a week

Seven months a year

I'm not telling you you've gotta go home

I'm still here spinning my wheels
