Mid-day Blues
Too exhausted to sit up straight
Should have slept a day ago
High noon brings another debate
Make something happen or go with the flow
Wake the blood with a little hair of the dog
I crank the bike, my friend takes the car
Headed for the lake to rinse out the fog
Quick skinny dip, a cold one from the trunk bar
Starting to shake those mid-day blues
Music gets louder as people show up
An impromptu party, spread the news
A little gathering just to get over the hump
Those carefree, foolish days came and went
My work ethic was strong but my play ethic stronger
I took advantage of the time to thoroughly vent
As I laughed and danced my way into the future
