Description
"When I Close My Eyes" is a song that embodies todays mentality of being beat down by the economy and never really being able to get ahead. A lot of us work too hard to come up with what feels like nothing, but at the end of the day, we're more fortunate than we realize, and there's always someone who's worse of than you.
Lyrics
My alarm goes of about 6:30 Its just another day Sweat and slave all day long For the bills I have to pay Lord knows that it aint easy But I'll be alright I just close my eyes and pretty soon I'll be livin high I'll be sittin by the pool A cold beer in my hand Its a warm summer day and I dont give a damn Aint got nothin to do All afternoon I've got it made in the shade Cant no one take it away Yeah thats how I live life When I Close my Eyes At the end of the day you can bet I'm tired And my back feels broke And when I open my front door All those dreams go up in smoke Lord knows this aint no mansion No house on the hill Aint got one damn thing to my name But I thank god for it still I'll be sittin by the pool A cold beer in my hand Its a warm summer day and I dont give a damn Aint got nothin to do All afternoon I've got it made in the shade Cant no one take it away Yeah thats how I live life When I Close My Eyes Today I saw an old man walkin On the streets downtown Risked his life for his country And all it did was beat him down And on the news I saw a woman cryin Over her lost son Lookin back I Realize All the battles that I've won And I'm still sittin by the pool A cold beer in my hand its a warm summer day and i dont give a damn aint got nothin to do all afternoon got it made in the shade cant no one take it away yeah thats how i live life when i close my eyes
