Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya tonight's the night we're gonna take it all back
Our will and our way are gonna lead us to the grave
Just tryin' to raise hell, just for today
That's okay cuz there's a god above and
That's alright it's just something we love and
There ain't nothin' wrong with goin' on a run
In trouble seein' double down by the lake
We throw a few back just for old time sake
See I never needed nothin' just good friends and some beer
Well I'm comin home but not tonight my dear
Ya and that's okay cuz there's a god above and
That's alright it's just something we love and
There ain't nothin wrong with goin on a run
no there ain't nothin wrong with havin some fun
