Happy Hour

Uncle Kracker Happy Hour Lyrics
1.Smile

Lyricist:Jeremy Bose, Blair Daly, J Harding, Matthew Shafer

You're better then the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flip side
Of my pillow, that's right

Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where
You send me, lets me know that it's okay
Yeah, it's okay
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone,
Somehow you come along just like
A flower pokin' through the sidewalk crack
And just like that
You steal away the rain, and just like that

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Don't know how I lived without you
'Cause every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile


2.Another Love Song

Lyricist:Michael Bradford, Kevin Fisher, Mark Mcguinn, Matthew Shafer

I hear a lot of records on the radio
A lot of love songs, they make me sing along
I sing straight from my heart right into yours
Complete with cliche and metaphor you heard before

It's ringin' in my head because it rings true
I know you're missin' me like I've been missin' you
And I can never get enough
No, never get enough of a good thing

Does the world really need another love song?
Another you don't know how much I miss you when you're gone
Another I don't know if I can live without you
Another baby you, baby oh, I don't think I'll ever know

I, I, I, I, I love you
Another love song
I, I, I, I, I do
Another love song

Time and time again we need a little break
From the give and take, we make the same mistakes
I know I've never been the one to let my feelings show
And I guess in that regard I'm really not alone

We could all use a push and when it comes to shove
We sing of life and love and a lack thereof
But with a little bit of luck
We could never get enough of a good thing

Does the world really need another love song?
Another you don't know how much I miss you when you're gone
Another I don't know if I can live without you
Another baby you, baby, oh I

Does the world really need another love song?
Another you don't know how much I miss you when you're gone
Another I don't know if I can live without you
Another baby you, baby oh, I don't think we'll ever know

I, I, I, I, I love you
Another love song
I, I, I, I, I do
Another love song

My brown eyed girl, give it away
Just give me some of that Marvin Gaye
Dobie Gray's a good place to start
Go ahead and take a little piece of my heart

So does the world really need another love song?
Another you don't know how much I miss you when you're gone
Another I don't know if I can live without you
Another baby you, baby oh, baby ooh, baby

Does the world really need another love song?
Another you don't know how much I miss you when you're gone
Another I don't know if I can live without you
Another baby you, baby oh, I don't think we'll ever know

I, I, I, I, I love you
Another love song
I, I, I, I, I do
Another love song

I, I, I, I, I love you
Another love song
I, I, I, I, I do
Another love song


3.My Girlfriend

Lyricist:Blair Daly, Jt Harding, Matthew Shafer

Dear Mom and Dad, I don't know where to start
I hate to break the news but I got a broken heart
That sweet southern belle that I met in Tennessee
Got a hickey on her neck and it ain't from me

Seems there's someone special
She's been meetin' at the gym
But the crazy thing about it
Is that someone's not a him

My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now
It was cool for a minute now it's bringin' me down
People talkin' 'bout it all over this town
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now

All my friends say she's just goin' through a phase
I believed her when she said she just needs a little space
But then I found pictures on her cellular phone
Of them doin' things when I wasn't home

It hit me like a brick
I guess, I should have seen the sign
This was more than just a friend
And a bottle of wine

My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now
It was cool for a minute now it's bringin' me down
People talkin' 'bout it all over this town
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now

Yeah Mom and Dad, really nothin' left to say
I'll be sure to keep you posted if she swings it back this way
I guess, I'm not as sad as you think I might be
The part that makes me mad is that they didn't invite me

My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now
It was cool for a minute now it's bringin' me down
People talkin' 'bout it all over this town
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now

My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now


4.Livin' The Dream

Lyricist:Josh Abraham, David Coverdale, Oliver Goldstein, Bernie
Marsden, Matthew Shafer, Luke Walker

Funny how things change
Yet they always stay the same
And the simple things in life
Just get tossed into the flame

But I been down that road before
When you just gotta roll the bones
I ain't got much money in my pocket
But I didn't leave none at home

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I'll keep livin' my life, livin' the dream on my own

A million roads to go
And a million roads behind me
I've heard so many stories told
But the good ones never find me

I ain't got no crystal ball
That's showin' me the way
And I don't know which way I'm goin'
But I'll get there someday, singin'

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I'll keep livin' my life, livin' the dream on my own

And after all that I've been through
There's nothin' left to prove
I'm startin' to believe
We can all live the dream
One day at a time
Yes, I'm startin' to believe
We can all live the dream

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind, I ain't wastin' no more time

Here I go again on my own
I'm goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind, I ain't wastin' no more time

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
But I'll keep livin' my life, livin' the dream on my own


5.Corner Bar

Lyricist:Martin Gross, Matthew Shafer

Once upon a time in the land of plenty
The land of lawyers, guns and money
A funny little thing we all call greed
Brought my hometown down to its knees

A little bit worried 'bout the shape I'm in
Baby needs shoes and the wallet's thin
Got no gas or electricity
But everybody's singin' in harmony

Sell me up, sell me down
I be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
Take my house, take my car
But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
Take my crib, take my car
But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar

No block party, everybody's evicted
No street lights, no runnin' liquids
I got no room on my credit card
And I'm three court dates from the prison yard

My credit score's fallen like the New York Mets
There ain't a debt collector that ain't called yet
They say, 'Money don't talk, it only swears'
And got me cussing in my underwear

Sell me up, sell me down
I be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
Take my house, take my car
But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
Take my crib, take my car
But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar

Once upon a time in America
The politicians went and fell outta love
There was a raping of the common man
And left us sittin' here without no plan

Swimmin' through bills like Michael Phelps
Down and out and can't get no help
The kids are hungry, peepin' French Poodles
Pickin' through dumpsters for Ramen noodles

Standin' in line with a family to feed
Tradin' Manhattan for Indian beads
It's been a long time since we felt good
Got everybody waitin' on Robin Hood

Sell me up, sell me down
I be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
Take my house, take my car
But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
Take my crib, take my car
But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar

Once upon a time in America
The politicians went and fell outta love
There was a raping of the common man
And left us sittin' here without no plan

Sell me up, sell me down
I be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
Take my house, take my car
But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
Take my crib, take my car
But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar


6.Me Again

Lyricist:Blair Daly, Jt Harding, Jesse Lee, Matthew Shafer

Hey, it's me again
I'm just checkin' in
Wonderin' how you've been
Yeah, it's been awhile

Nothin' much has changed
I hope you're doin' okay
I just called to say
You've been on my mind

And I hope the next time you fall in love
You get everythin' you've been dreamin' of
You deserve a happiness that sees no end
But next time you fall in love, I hope it's with me again

Well baby, I could lie
Say that I'm doin' great
Truth is I miss the way
I feel when I'm with you

And I hope the next time you fall in love
You get everythin' you've been dreamin' of
You deserve a happiness that sees no end
But next time you fall in love, I hope it's with me again

'Cause you and I were never meant to be apart
What we had is better than where we are
I promise that I'll never leave you in the dark

Yeah, baby, baby, I miss you

Yeah, I hope the next time you fall in love
You get everythin' you've been dreamin' of

Yeah, I hope the next time you fall in love
I give you everythin' you've been dreamin' of
I'll give you a happiness that sees no end
The next time you fall in love
I hope it's with me again, me again


7.Good To Be Me

Lyricist:J T Harding, Brett James, Rob Ritchie, Matthew Shafer

Nobody blowin' up my phone
I ain't buzzin' and I ain't stoned
But I'm ridin', flyin' higher than the blue sky

If you don't like me, brother, that's okay
I ain't gonna let it wreck my day
I keep stylin', smilin', handin' out the sunshine

I got no good reason why

Damn, it feels good to be me
Seats laid back in my Cutlass Supreme
I'll be alright
Rollin' these streets all summer long

Damn, I got it all figured out
I got no worries that I'm worried about
It's like I caught some crazy, happy disease
Damn, it feels good to be me

Bought some cheap shades at the Amoco Station
They make me feel like I'm on vacation
On my own island, motor city paradise

Ain't it funny how time flies?

Damn, it feels good to be me
T-Top's down in my Cutlass Supreme
I'll be alright
Rollin' these streets all summer long

Damn, I got it all figured out
I got no worries that I'm worried about
It's like I caught some crazy, happy disease
Damn, it feels good to be me

Got no particular place to go
My Alpine's pumpin' some Motown soul
Rockin' to a Papa Was A Rollin' Stone

Damn, it feels good to be me
Fresh pair of kicks and my old blue jeans
I'll be alright
Rollin' these streets all summer long

Damn, I got it all figured out
I got no worries that I'm worried about
It's like I caught some Coltrane Love Supreme
Damn, it feels good to be me

(Coltrane Love Supreme)
It feels so good
(Coltrane Love Supreme)
It feels so good
(Coltrane Love Supreme)
Damn, it feels good


8.I Hate California

Lyricist:Brett James, Matthew Shafer

She's probably in a Bentley
Showin' off her new fake boobies
Tryin' to break into the movies
With some producer who seduced her
With some sushi and cologne

She's probably down on Sunset
Doin' all the things that she ain't done yet
With some actor she calls Hector
Man, I wish she'd meet Phil Spector
And he'd ask to take her home

She's lovin' California, she loves the beach
She loves the party everyday
Piña Coladas on the sidewalk in L.A.
Ever since she went away, I hate California

Maybe she's livin' in a commune
Dancin' with hippies under the moon
It's all free love, weed and patchouli
And there's a guru named Fuzuli
And he's doin' her for sure

Maybe she's strummin' some big rock star
Drinkin' pink cosmos at the Sky Bar
Those Hollyweirdos with their tofu, avocado
I bet she thinks she won the lotto good for her

She's lovin' California, she loves the beach
She loves the party everyday
Piña Coladas on the sidewalk in L.A.
Ever since she went away, I hate California

I think I seen her on TV, last night on TMZ
With the pretty people on parade
She's sellin' Scientology with John, Tommy and Katie
Man, I bet she's really got it made

She's lovin' California
That string bikini and the sunshine on her face

She's lovin' California, she loves the beach
She loves the party everyday
Piña Coladas on the sidewalk in L.A.
Ever since she went away, I hate California


9.Hot Mess

Lyricist:Sam Hollander, Dave Katz, Matthew Shafer

Doctor, Doctor, can you save me?
I like my chicks a little crazy
Crazy in the head

Every train wreck got me buzzin'
Like I'm drunk on Robitussin
Fireworks in my bed, all night

Hip-hop don't stop
Drop it like it's burnin' hot, damn
Here I go again

Hip-hop don't stop
Buy that girl another shot, damn
Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that hot mess
Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that hot mess

People tell me that it's my fault
Everyday I'm like a Nascar
Crashin', catchin' fire

I like tequila on my sunrise
A little black around my blue eyes
Walkin' on a wire, let it ride

Hip-hop don't stop
Drop it like it's burning hot, damn
Here I go again

Hip-hop don't stop
Buy that girl another shot, damn
Gimme that, gimme that hot, hot mess
Gimme that, gimme that hot, hot mess

Doctor, Doctor, can you save me?
She's dancin' on the bar and screamin'
She's singin'

Hip-hop don't stop
Drop it like it's burnin' hot, damn
Here I go again

Hip-hop don't stop
Buy that girl another shot, damn
Gimme that, gimme that hot, hot mess
Gimme that, gimme that hot, hot mess


10.Hey Hey Hey

Lyricist:Michael Bradford, Blair Daly, Jt Harding, Matthew Shafer

Lately I've been livin'
Feelin' unforgiven
Feels like I've been gettin'
Anythin' and everythin' wrong

Well, I've always had my trouble
Lately, it's been double
Somethin' busts my bubble
Keeps me barely floatin' along

But those days are behind me
You ain't gonna find me
Sittin' 'round, countin' raindrops

Hey, hey, hey
The sun is shining on my face
And everythin' will be okay
It's a fact, yeah, I made it back
And this time I'm here to stay

Hey, hey, hey

Now the clouds have parted
Let's get the party started
Call up the broken hearted
Tell 'em that I'm back in town
I'm buyin' the whole place around

Bad days behind me
My baby beside me
I feel my luck starting to change

Hey, hey, hey
The sun is shining on my face
And everythin' will be okay
It's a fact, yeah, I made it back
And this time I'm here to stay

Hey, hey, hey
The sun is shining on my face

Bad days behind me
My baby beside me
I feel my luck starting to change

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, yeah

Hey, hey, hey
The sun is shining on my face
And everythin' will be okay
It's a fact, yeah, I made it back
And this time I'm here to stay

Hey, hey, hey
The sun is shining on my face
And everythin' will be okay
It's a fact, yeah, I made it back
And this time I'm here to stay

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey


11.I'm Not Leaving

Lyricist:Michael Bradford, Matthew Shafer

Another cigarette, whatever I can get
Everything I had I left behind
Pictures of the past things that never last
But satisfaction is, oh, it's state of mind

Somehow, someway
With nothin' left to lose
The past has got me
Searching for someone like you

Put another candle in the wind
It's just another thing that I can't fix
Play another game that I can't win
But I'm not leaving it like this

Maybe, I should find a common ground
Scratch another problem off my list
Go ahead and kick me when I'm down
But I'm not leaving it like this

Make another note
Letters that I wrote
I guess, you should've known
That I'd let you down

I heard it all before
I been through every door
But don't you be so quick
To count me out

You tried to knock me down
You kicked me in my head
You got me on the ground
But I'm not finished yet

Put another candle in the wind
It's just another thing that I can't fix
Play another game that I can't win
But I'm not leaving it like this

Maybe, I should find a common ground
Scratch another problem off my list
Go ahead and kick me when I'm down
But I'm not leaving it like this

You try to let me down
You kick me in my head
You got me on the ground
But I'm not finished yet

Put another candle in the wind
It's just another thing that I can't fix
Play another game that I can't win
But I'm not leaving it like this

Maybe, I should find a common ground
Scratch another problem off my list
Go ahead and kick me when I'm down
But I'm not leaving it like this

Put another candle in the wind
It's just another thing that I can't fix
Play another game that I can't win
But I'm not leaving it like this

Maybe, I should find a common ground
Scratch another problem off my list
Go ahead and kick me when I'm down
But I'm not leaving it like this


12.Mainstreet

I remember standing on the corner at midnight
Trying to get my courage up
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown
I loved to watch her do her stuff
Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat
Down on Mainstreet

In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
I used to watch 'em through the glass
Well I'd stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street
Down on Mainstreet

And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat
I drift back in time and I find my feet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet


13.Celebrate

Bop Bop
Shoobie-do wop
Bop Bop
Shoobie-do wop

Cigarettes and palm tree juice
In the middle of some place nice
Pop-up video greatest hits
Sippin' Miami Vice

A sunny day on MLK
In a Cadillac Coup Deville
You might not get down like that
But I know your sister will

She's talkin down 'n dirty
She's got an ass like Fergie
I know she's gonna hurt me
I do, I do

I celebrate when I'm up
I celebrate when I'm down
not a care in this world
I'm celebratin' right now

NoI got nothin' to lose
I don't need no excuse
So anyway anyhow
I'm celebratin' right now

Bop Bop
Shoobie-do wop
Bop Bop
Shoobie-do wop

Tank top on a trampoline
Puts a tattoo on my heart
No stars in the limousine
Got 'em dancin' on the bar

Everywhere I go and show
An' they pat me on my back
Look me in the eye and say
Yo all your works kick like that

Don't stop like prohibition
My key's in your ignition
Don't mind my disposition
No, I, oh I

I celebrate when I'm up
I celebrate when I'm down
Not a care in the world
I'm celebratin' right now

No I got nothin' to lose
I don't need no excuse
So anyway anyhow
I'm celebratin' right now

Heyya

oh AhhAhhh
Yeahhh

She's talkin down 'n dirty
She's got an ass like Fergie
I know she's gonna hurt me
I do, I do

I celebrate when I'm up
I celebrate when I'm down
Not a care in this world
I'm celebratin' right now

No I got nothin' to lose
I don't need no excuse
So anyway anyhow
I'm celebratin' right now


I celebrate when I'm up
I celebrate when I'm down
Not a care in this world
I'm celebratin' right now

No I got nothin' to lose
I don't need no excuse
So anyway anyhow
I'm celebratin' right now
