Brad Paisley Follow

I remember working on a rooftop

In the hot summer sun all day

Now I work two hours a night

It feels a lot more like play

'Fore Kenny joined the band

He used to hang dry wall

Ben worked down at Valentino's

So when you see us up here and think

Man they're lucky

You don't have to tell us 'cause we know

[Chorus]

Yeah, we're laughing all the way to the bank

'Cause it all just seems so funny

A bunch of guys like us

In a big tour bus

Making that easy money

Desperado hauled cattle

Grady drove trucks

Justin had a hot dog stand

Kevin sold records

And Brent sold shoes

And Gary was a garbage man

[Repeat chorus]

I used to have an ex-girlfriend

That didn't understand

She said boy you're going nowhere fast

You oughta get a real job

Why don't you quit that band

Now she can kiss my backstage pass

[Repeat chorus 2x]
