Golden Handcuffs

Verse 1: Back in the day, we were young and wild Carefree laughter, that mischievous smile Life was a party that never seemed to end Staying out late with our closest friends Chorus: Those were the days, oh how they flew by Living it up under the open sky Now I'm stuck here in this office chair Wishin' I could go back there Verse 2: Traded rock shows for business attire Client calls are my new late night fire Cubicle walls like a corporate jail Claustrophobic from 9 to 5 hell (Chorus) Bridge: Is this really it? What life's all about? I feel the youth in me crying out To break free from this hamster wheel And once again just live and feel Verse 3: Think I'll tell the boss I'm done today Grab the old gang and get away Find that spark that used to shine And leave this tired life behind (Chorus) Outro: I'm breakin' free, leavin' it behind To rediscover the life I once knew When every day held something new I'm going back to my roots, And this time the party never ends...
