Everyday, Everyday

Take time
Don't lose yourself today, no
Make time
to let yourself slip away, now

And everyday that I follow
I try to realize
I'm doing what I have to 
just to try to get by
And everyday that I swallow
another ounce of pride
I come home to my doorstep
And go back to my life
And everyday, everyday

It's night time
So go drink words with all your friends yeah
It's a great time
for you to show love to the world yeah

It's no use crying or throwing your tantrums
The ladies want a nice gentleman who looks handsome
Put a feather in your cap, step back
tilt your bottle back, love your bartender
Remember that.

There's no time for fightin
or cell phone drama, there's only time for lovin one another

If you agree throw your drink up with me
Here's a toast to tonight 
when everything went right.

And everyday that I follow
I try to realize
I'm doing what I have to 
just to try to get by
And everyday that I swallow
another ounce of pride
I come home to my doorstep
And go back to my life
And everyday, everyday.
