lyrics

Hey man, when do we get to stop
Talking about rain and running for trains and racking our brains or whatever remains
And pick up guitars and sing like we want to?

Hey girl, when do we get to stop
Checking off to-do’s and sharing bad news, sleeping off booze and suffering all these fools
And pick up guitars and sing like we want to?
Pick up guitars and sing like we want to

When, when oh when
Does life begin
For me and you
My friend?
And how, how oh how
How about now, old pal
How about now?
I’m begging you

Hey bud, when do we get to stop
Looking at tikes, and clicking on likes, falling off bikes and hit the open mics
And pick up guitars and sing like we want to

Hey champ, when do we get to stop
Washing loads and streaming episodes, snipping off nodes and forgetting our codes
And pick up guitars and sing like we want to?
Pick up guitars and sing like we want to

When, when oh when
Does life begin
For me and you
My friend?
And how, how oh how
How about now, old pal
How about now?
I’m begging you

Hey man, when do we get to stop
Making schleps, doing reps and seasoning crepes and reviewing next steps
And pick up guitars and sing like want to?

Hey girl when do we get to stop
Hitting pot holes and wearing Doctor Scholes and tidying our bowls and losing our souls
And pick up guitars and sing like we want to?
Pick up guitars and sing like we want to
Pick up guitars and sing like we want to
I------just want to pick up my guitar

(C) Dave Keener.
