lyrics

Die Happy

Verse:
Alarm clock, just stop
Can't you see there's more to life then thinking about a dead-end
Day job, bad boss
Gives me a check but man I bet you it ain't gonna add up

'Cause everything I need is sleeping right here in my arms
And every word she said is still stirring up my heart, she said

Chorus:
Gimmie a tiki bar on a sandy beach
A reggae band playing Bob Marley
Some tiny yellow umbrellas keeping our drinks cool
An easy ocean breeze cutting through the sun
Two hearts beating to a steel drum
Some Late night moonlight love 'til we both can't move
Oh oh oh one last kiss sweet as salt water taffy
That's all I need and I'd die happy

Verse 2:
Just once, let's jump
Instead of dipping our toes into a dream let's dive on in
Head first, it's our turn
We'll catch the next anything don't care how we get there
Baby let's just get there

Chorus:

Bridge:
Don't think another dollar in the bank is gonna matter when we're standing at those pearly gates
We only got one ride around this life and girl I'm thinking we don't need more than some paper plates

Last Chorus:
Gimme our own backyard on a quiet street
Two folding chairs one shady tree
A bucket of iced coronas keeping us real cool
A little southern breeze playing with your hair
A country melody and we start to dance
You lay your head on my shoulder hold you 'neath the moon
oh oh oh One last kiss and tell me that you love me
That's all I need and I'd die happy
