Shot and a Beer

After a week…
Forty hours deep in the pit…
It’s my time now.
I EARNED this.

After a week putting in forty, it’s my time
Clock punched out, now the night is mine
Steel toe boots and a broken back
But I ain’t here to sit, I’m ready to attack
Dust on my hands, rage in my gut
This 9-to-5 world can kiss my butt
Rent’s paid just to survive
But I ain’t living — now I come alive

The neon’s calling, the music’s loud
I’m not alone — I’m with the crowd
Raise your fists, let’s make it clear —
I’m here for pain relief and cheap beer

HEY BARTENDER!
Light me up with a shot and a beer!
I worked all week, now I’m shifting gear
Smoke in my lungs, no fear in my eyes
Tonight’s for the wolves — let the howling rise

HEY BARTENDER!
Crack the seal, bring the flame
This is my church, this is my game
Forty hours gone, now I’m in the clear —
So light me up with a shot and a beer!
