Lyrics
TIE ONE ON
? 2009
Author: G. Smith/K. Reardon
V I:
Now it feels like forty hours until Friday, on this Thursday afternoon;
And I know that I'm gonna go crazy, if it doesn't get here real soon.
Time may fly, or so I hear them saying, but it's creepin' by today.
I can't wait to punch the clock, head out to the dock, and spend some of my hard earned pay.
CHORUS:
It's time to ? Tie one on,
Oh, it's been too long ? since I got that far gone,
Oh, it's time to tie one on.
V II:
Well the lure is irresistible, but you got to get it right, in this cutthroat world of ours;
There something in the water that?s brewing for a fight, in the rainbows, or in the stars.
And so I'll head to work on Monday, reeling in my lines, where' I'll face another week,
Goin' through the motions, cast aside the deep devotions, ?til I'm up another creek.
CHORUS:
Where I can ? Tie one on,
Oh, it's been too long ? since I got that far gone,
Oh, it's time to tie one on.
(Instrumental)
V III:
I hate dealing with the office when the sharks are all around, lurking just to take a bite
And the barracuda wait to jump and bring you down, can be scary but hey, I?m alright
Cause I prefer the small fry, got no reason to go bigger than what I get in my ol? pond,
I?ll let the others chase the big ?uns, I just need a little keeper, and a place where I can tie one on.
CHORUS:
I need to ? Tie one on,
Oh, it's been too long ? since I got that far gone,
Oh, it's time to tie one on.
"Tippet... tippet good"
