"Happy Hour" lyrics

I had just gotten free from my J-O-B
So I took myself down to the bar
Well from six to seven, it's a working folk's heaven
Half price shots and beer in a jar
Well you better get to tasting, son, time is a-wasting
That's what that barkeep said
Seems I've barely gotten started 'fore that hour departed
These thoughts a-came to my head

Why do mamas always worry
Why don't payday come on time?
How come agave tequila tastes
So much better with salt and lime
My sunset's so romantic
Where have all the heroes gone
How come the world just makes more sense
When I hear a country song

And why can't stopping time
Be my superpower
And who says happy
Only gets to last an hour

It takes more than a sign on the window to define
How long we all get to thrive
And I'll never surrender, time pushing bartender
I aim for having morning, noon, and night
Yeah, you better be believing we can keep this feeling
Lulling on past last call
And it may be semantic but I'm a ballroom romantic
With some questions for you all

Like why can't dogs have conversations
Why don't money grow on trees
How come it always feels so good
To sit down on my favorite beach
Does thunder mean God's angry
Does the first kiss mean it's true
Now why don't we all just ask ourselves
What would Willie do

And why can't stopping time
Be my superpower
And who says happy
Only gets to last an hour

Well let's get higher than Spider-Man
Swinging on the Eiffel Tower
And who says happy only gets to last an hour
Who says happy only gets to last an hour
