about

A friend of mine with a long list of the day's to-do's, looking outside saw a beautiful day, his dirtbike, his dog and thought to himself: 'what are you waiting for?' and took the leap. Forget the list, forget 'responsibilities' and just go for it. Hit the road. Camp out. Feel the freedom.

lyrics

WHAT R YA WAITIN’ FOR?

grab a beer
roll a joint
get on yr bike
head on out
look at the ocean
bird in the sky
spreadin’ yr wings
here’s mud in yr eye

what r you waiting’ for?
open that door
what r you waiting’ for?
baby, oh baby

wind in yr hair
a path thru the trees
buildin’ a fire
no one t please, hey

what r you waiting’ for?

freedom!

nobody’s talkin’
it’s just yourself
like a tree in the forest
ya can scream ya can yell

what r you waiting’ for?

freedom!

ok
you got this
jump!

take off yr clothes
run around naked
nobody knows you
like you do
ya can’t fake it
piss in the river
turn off yr phone
take a pretty picture
n delete it

what r you waiting’ for?

freedom!

ok
you got this
jump!

remember
when you were 10
ya slammed thru the screen door
ran outside
never had a worry
never had a doubt
throwin’ a grapefruit
quiet as a mouse


grab a beer
roll a joint
get on yr bike
head on out
look at the ocean
bird in the sky
spreadin’ yr wings
here’s mud in yr eye

what r you waiting’ for?
ride
