Backstory:
I was watching a Netflix show called, The Ranch, and they had a sign in the window of a bar in town and it said, No Business during drinking hours. I loved that and so that's what we used as the hook for the song.
Lyrics:
No Working During Drinking Hours
John Cirillo (ASCAP) | Troy Castellano (SESAC)
When you burn a candle at both ends
All you get is wax and smoke
Ya got bills to pay, dreams to buy
Life ain’t no joke
But when you come ‘round here
You gotta leave that behind
Grab a chair and just kick back
Get a bucket on ice with a six-pack
Chorus
Cause’ there’s no working during drinking hours
So put away, put away your super powers
(Come on, get a little louder)
No thinking till the sun comes up
Trust me friend, there’ll be time enough
(For a little workday love)
Even God stopped to smell the flowers
No working during drinking hours
Not a clock in sight just some neon lights
License plates on the wall
Can’t hear yourself but the band’s alright
Good times ‘til last call
Shoot some pool
Till those strangers become friends
Keep your deadlines on the run
Ain’t it fun getting nothing done
