Lyrics
Verse 1: Clocked out at five, same as every day Boss man's talkin' 'bout that overtime pay But I got plans that he don't understand Got my truck, got my girl, got a cold beer in my hand Radio's crankin', windows rolled down low Leavin' all that nine-to-five behind, you know Chorus: Normal's just another cage Ain't gonna live life on their stage Tailgate down, Friday night Blue jeans on and I feel alright Normal's just another cage I'm breakin' out, I'm turnin' the page Tailgate down, Friday night This is how I come alive Verse 2: They say settle down, buy a house with a fence Work forty years, hope it all makes sense But I'd rather be wild than safely contained Life's too short to be living afraid Got that fire in my soul, burnin' bright and free Gonna chase the setting sun for all eternity Chorus: Normal's just another cage Ain't gonna live life on their stage Tailgate down, Friday night Blue jeans on and I feel alright Normal's just another cage I'm breakin' out, I'm turnin' the page Tailgate down, Friday night This is how I come alive Bridge: So let 'em talk about their perfect plans I'll take my chances right here where I stand Freedom's callin' out my name so loud I won't be locked up in their puppet crowd Dirt road dust and a fiery sunset sky That's where I feel like I can spread my wings and fly Chorus: Normal's just another cage Ain't gonna live life on their stage Tailgate down, Friday night Blue jeans on and I feel alright Normal's just another cage I'm breakin' out, I'm turnin' the page Tailgate down, Friday night This is how I come alive This is how I come alive Outro: Yeah, this is how I come alive (Guitar riff fades) Friday night freedom, under these starry skies!
