He left his dead in the cottonwood trees
the ground grown too hard with the years
Falling down was not what it used to be
the ground grown too hard with the years

He told his children those little white lies
the truth would only paralyze them
He told himself those little white lies
the truth would only paralyze him

Lay it down, lay it down

He sold most of what he cherished,
the rest he let them steal
Shot his dog out in the open field,
the rest he let them steal

He broke all of his promises,

My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV

I don't have digital
I don't have diddly-squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got

Refrain:
I'm gonna soak up the sun.
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up

I'm gonna tell them that:
I've got noone to blame-
For everytime I feel lame
I'm lookin' up

I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it take
To win me some of your love

Everytime I turn around
I'm lookin' up - you're lookin' down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do

Refrain:
I'm gonna soak up the sun.
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up

I'm gonna tell them that:
I've got noone to blame-
For everytime I feel lame
I'm lookin' up

[I'm gonna soak up the sun
The water's still free]

Don't have no master's suite
But I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key

Everytime I turn around
I'm lookin' up - you're lookin' down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy, too

Refrain:
I'm gonna soak up the sun.
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up

I'm gonna tell them that:
I've got noone to blame-
For everytime I feel lame
I'm lookin' up

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I've got my 45 on
So I can rock on
