"Straight Up Sideways" lyrics

"Straight Up Sideways"

There's a reason why we put a week of work in
So we can do whatever we want on the weekend
It's when you take your blue collar off and let your neck turn red
Everybody does it just a little different
So when we wind up all the same, what's the difference?
Yeah, you better get to livin' it up before you wake up dead

A-tip 'em back 'til you can't walk
Cut loose like a chainsaw
Plastered like a drywall
Hammered like an old bent nail
Jacked up like a four-by
'Bout as buzzed as a Bud Light
Long gone as last night
Loaded like a buckshot shell
There's more than one way
To get straight up sideways

You can do it in the sticks in Mississippi
Or on a rooftop, New York City
From the Carolina Coast to a California beach
Y'all raise one up with me

Tip 'em back 'til you can't walk
Cut loose like a chainsaw
Plastered like a drywall
Hammered like an old bent nail
Jacked up like a four-by
'Bout as buzzed as a Bud Light
Long gone as last night
Loaded like a buckshot shell
There's more than one way
To get straight up sideways
Straight up sideways

A-tip 'em back 'til you can't walk
Cut loose like a chainsaw
Plastered like a drywall
Hammered like an old bent nail
Jacked up like a four-by
About as buzzed as a Bud Light
A-long gone as last night
Loaded like a buckshot shell
There's more than one way
More than one way
To get straight up sideways (Woo)
Straight up sideways
Come on
