We're Gonna Feel Just Fine

My friends said C’mon let’s go, let’s head on down to Mexico.’ We’ll drink up all their tequila and we’ll snort up all their blow. My friends said c’mon let’s go, out to Aspen, Colorado. We’ll snuggle with some bunnies, and ski ‘til our buzz starts to go. My friends said c’mon let’s go, it’s cold under this Missouri snow. Let’s go to Miami and party ‘til we run out of dough. My friends said c’mon let’s go, those Las Vegas lights are all aglow. We’ll gamble away all our cash and leave with nothing to show. My friends said c’mon let’s go, let’s head on down south to New Orleans. Drink all night at Mardi Gras, get the drunkest we’ve ever been. My friends said c’mon let’s go, to the sands of California’s beach. Where the wine flow like water, and all our dreams will be in reach. Chorus: Why don’t you pack yourself a bag and let’s get on down the line. We’ll worry about tomorrow later…but today we’re gonna feel just fine. I said you guys go on without me, maybe I will make it there someday. But now I have responsibilities, and life keeps getting in the way. I can’t pay the rent and the utilities if I don’t go to work today. Maybe when I’m a little older, then I’ll have time to come out and play. With my wife, four kids and a dog, my life has turned out just fine. I don’t worry ‘bout tomorrow ‘cause I always toed the line. I’m ready to pack my bag and use the money I never spent. I have the time to go see, all those places I never went. Tried to get in touch with my friends, so that maybe we could meet. But Dave lives at Bellevue, Blue sleeps in a box out on some street. Dan didn’t shake the habit and OD’d a year ago today. Frankenstein’s in jail somewhere and that’s where he’s going to stay. Chorus: I said you guys go on without me, maybe I will make it there someday. But now I have responsibilities, and life keeps getting in the way. Glad they went without me, while I stayed and toed the line. Because tomorrow my friends is finally here, and I am feeling just fine. I’m going to pack my bag so I can get on down the line. I don’t have to worry about tomorrow , and today I’m feeling just fine. © Jerry Brotherton
