Paycheck Lyrics by Derek Austin

Barstool Saints

2021

[Intro]
Let's turn this paycheck into longnecks
Then turn 'em all upside down

[Verse 1]
We work so we can drink
We drink because we work
And lately, we've been workin' overitme
We both could use some rest
'Bout to run ourselves to death
But all we're dyin' of is thirst tonight

[Chorus]
Let's turn this paycheck into longnecks
Let's turn some quarters into slow songs
Let's turn that neon into me on
Your lips when the lights come back on
Let's turn this Friday night into Saturday mornin'
Turn this week around
Let's turn this paycheck into longnecks
Thеn turn 'em all upside down

[Verse 2]
That money in thе bank
Girl, it ain't worth a thing
Until I spend it all on you
Oh, so who am I to question
This two-for-one investment?
There's only one responsible thing we can do

[Chorus]
Let's turn this paycheck into longnecks
Let's turn some quarters into slow songs
Let's turn that neon into me on
Your lips when the lights come back on
Let's turn this Friday night into Saturday mornin'
Turn this week around
Let's turn this paycheck into longnecks
Then turn 'em all upside down (Come on)

[Bridge]
We work so we can drink
We drink because we work
We work so we can drink
So we can work so we can drink

[Chorus]
Let's turn this paycheck into longnecks
Let's turn some quarters into slow songs
Let's turn that neon into me on
Your lips when the lights come back on
Let's turn this Friday night into Saturday mornin'
Turn this week around
Let's turn this paycheck into longnecks
Then turn 'em all upside down
Let's turn this paycheck into longnecks
Then turn 'em all upside down
