Days Like These
Jason Aldean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't worry if I tried
I got an open road just air and me
To pick you up and take you for a ride
I got a new shine on my car
Sun is tanning my left arm
And while I'm waiting on the red lightI'm burning up a little air guitar
Turn it up a little bit louder
Turn it up I love this song
Come on girl the world is ours
Let's do something right or wrong
Life is short
Let's go live it
Ain't no time for wasting time
Days like these they go by way too fast
Yeah, days like these you wanna make them last
Rest your feet up on the dash
Leave your toe prints on the glass
Sing it like you mean it baby
Close your eyes and lay your head on back
Turn it up a little bit louder
Turn it up I love this song
Come on girl the world is ours
Let's do something right or wrong
Life is short
Let's go live it
Ain't no time for wasting time
Yeah, days like these you wanna make them last
Speakers laying in the truck bed
No this day ain't done yet
'Til the sun goes down
Turn it up a little bit louder
Turn it up I love this song
Come on girl the world is ours
Let's do something right or wrong
Life is short
Let's go live it
Ain't no time for wasting time
Days like these they go by way too fast
Yeah days like these they go by way too fast
Yeah, days like these you wanna make them last
The lyrics of "Days Like These" are about embracing the joys of life and making the most out of every moment. The opening lines suggest that the singer is not worried about anything because he is in a good mood and is driving on an open road with his significant other. He has a "new shine" on his car and the sun is shining on his arm, and he uses the moment to play air guitar. The chorus emphasizes the idea that life is short and that one should go out and live it to the fullest without wasting any time.
The second verse highlights the romantic aspect of the song as the singer invites his girlfriend to join him in singing and enjoying the music. He encourages her to express herself by leaving her footprints on the glass and singing out loud. The bridge of the song is an instrumental that invites everyone to dance with the music, and the final verse shows that the day has not ended yet because they are still listening to music and enjoying each other's company.
