LOUD LIFE

All of the crickets and all the cicadas
Are making a racket like they’re gaming in Vegas
All I wanna do is climb in a ditch
I haven’t got a clue, ain’t this a….

Gonna take a minute, gotta climb right in it
I’ll hold my breath until ‘til my face turns blue
Gonna build a boat, gonna dig a moat
Whatever it takes, that’s what I’m gonna do

To live a loud life…
Gonna live a loud life…

All of the books, all of the articles
They shatter in step, they scatter like particles
All I want to do is play the perfect game
I’m talking to you, but it sounds all the same

Gonna take a minute, gotta climb right in it
I’ll hold my breath until ‘til my face turns blue
Gonna learn to fly, gonna touch the sky
Whatever it takes, that’s what I’m gonna do

To live a loud life…

Step up close, I got you figured out
Nose to nose, we don’t have to shout
Take my hand, leave the fight behind
Take a stand, it will change your mind

Gonna take a minute, gotta climb right in it
I’ll hold my breath until ‘til my face turns blue
Gonna build a boat, gonna dig a moat
Whatever it takes, that’s what I’m gonna do

To live a loud life…

Step up close, I got you figured out
Nose to nose, we don’t have to shout
Take my hand, leave the fight behind
Take a stand, it will change your mind
