Sideways
Getting Sideways: A Musical Escape into Old-fashioned Freedom
Lyrics
I show up for work on time at least five days a week
I consistently arrive punctually for work at least five days per week.
Punch that clock and toe the line just to make ends meet
I adhere to my job responsibilities and work diligently to make ends meet.
Every day on my way home I pass them neon lights
On my way home, I pass by bright and colorful neon lights.
But I been thinking all day long about stopping in tonight
Throughout the day, I've contemplated the idea of stopping at a place with neon lights tonight.
I might get a little sideways
I may indulge in some carefree behavior or deviation from the norm.
Like I did in the old days
Similar to my actions in the past, I might act in a carefree or unconventional manner.
Every once in awhile you know
Occasionally, I deviate from the conventional path.
I slip off the straight and narrow
I occasionally stray from the straight and narrow path.
Sitting down on a bar stool
Sitting at a bar, I relax and enjoy myself.
Cutting up like a dang fool
I engage in lively and perhaps foolish behavior.
Now and then on Fridays
On certain Fridays, I might engage in carefree activities.
I might get a little sideways
Similar to the past, I might act in a carefree or unconventional manner.
I'm gonna call my baby up when that quitting whistle blows
When my workday ends, I'll call my significant other.
Girl put on your dancing shoes and grab my party clothes
I suggest dressing up for a night of dancing and fun.
Meet me down at the rendezvous on highway seventeen
We plan to meet at a specific location on highway seventeen.
We'll stoke up that jukebox and let off a little steam
We'll play music on the jukebox and release some tension.
We might get a little sideways
We may engage in some carefree behavior or deviation from the norm.
Like we did in the old days
Similar to our actions in the past, we might act in a carefree or unconventional manner.
Every once in awhile you know
Occasionally, we deviate from the conventional path.
We slip off the straight and narrow
We occasionally stray from the straight and narrow path.
Sitting down on a bar stool
Sitting at a bar, we relax and enjoy ourselves.
Cutting up like a dang fool
We engage in lively and perhaps foolish behavior.
Now and then on Fridays
On certain Fridays, we might engage in carefree activities.
We might get a little sideways
Similar to the past, we might act in a carefree or unconventional manner.
We might get a little sideways
We may engage in some carefree behavior or deviation from the norm.
Like we did in the old days
Similar to our actions in the past, we might act in a carefree or unconventional manner.
Every once in awhile you know
Occasionally, we deviate from the conventional path.
We slip off the straight and narrow
We occasionally stray from the straight and narrow path.
Sitting down on a bar stool
Sitting at a bar, we relax and enjoy ourselves.
Cutting up like a dang fool
We engage in lively and perhaps foolish behavior.
Now and then on Fridays
On certain Fridays, we might engage in carefree activities.
We might get a little sideways
Similar to the past, we might act in a carefree or unconventional manner.
