Story Behind The Song

Written while sheltering in place.

Song Description

About the many things we missed while not being able to socialize during the pandemic.

Lyrics

Every day a blessing comes in some new way shape or form
The sun rises a baby's born we wake in a free land
Even so it's been too long since I got home to hug my mom
Went to hear my favorite band or had a beer with friends
Now I'm ready to do those things again

And get my outside on breathe the air and feel the sun
Fight a large mouth bass down at the lake
Get my outside on fire up the BBQ
Show em how to grill the perfect steak
I'm open for business even if it's from a distance
I'm back and I feel strong I got my outside on

I called friends without a reason fixed some things that needed fixing
Wore a mask and washed my hands while I sang happy birthday
But there's a car to fill with gas and there's a keg I should tap
A campfire to sit around a song or two to play
I don't need to go far to get away

And get my outside on breathe the air and feel the sun
Fight a large mouth bass down at the lake
Get my outside on fire up the BBQ
Show em how to grill the perfect steak
I'm open for business even if it's from a distance
I'm back and I feel strong I got my outside on

Thought I'd never say this but I miss that stale black coffee at the diner
At the counter
I could grow my hair long but that ain't helping the barber on the corner
Or his landlord

So I got my outside on I'm breathing air and feeling sun
Reeling in a bass down at the lake
Get my outside on fired up that BBQ
Showed em how to grill the perfect steak
Got my outside on dove into a swimming hole
Felt the shivers run right down my spine
Got my outside on swung a club and threw a ball
Saddled up a horse and took a ride
I'm open for business even if it's from a distance
I'm back and I feel strong I got my outside on
I got my outside on Got my outside on
