Goin' To The Festival

from The Long Way Round by Gronk

/

lyrics

The sun is up, we’ve got some lagers cooling in the van
We’re standing round just talking shit, because we can
Now I don’t wanna be a spoilsport but shouldn’t we hit the road?
If the fuel gets any lower we could wind up getting towed

We’re going to the festival this Friday night
We’re off to hear some music, feel the breeze
We’re going to the festival to dance all night
And when the morning comes we’ll sleep beneath the trees

I’m too lazy to be a salesman, oh I know it has its perks
But dressing sharp and greasing palms, it’s not the way I work
I’d rather be a sailor and sail right out to sea
In fact I’d rather be anything than someone else’s employee

So we’re going to the festival, we’re one of the bands
It’s 10am and we’re all drinking beer
And we’re loading all our instruments into the van
‘Cause the headline act won’t let us use their gear yeah

And when we reach the country, remember not to count the sheep
‘Cause when you drive at seventy-five you’d better not fall asleep
Well Hugo’s got the drumsticks, Johnny’s got the horn
Herman’s got the sermons and the evening’s being born

We’re going to festival this Friday night
We’re off to meet some friends and hug some trees
Well I hope we get into the festival all right
‘Cause these ticket touts don’t give no guarantees yeah ...
