Lyrics

Well I’m over-educated and I got too much to say,
Tried to chase my passion but life got in the way,

Spent a decade punching in every day,
To climb a corporate ladder stretching further away, 

Now I’m working hard to not do much and still get paid,
So I can play my guitar 7 hours a day


Can’t keep my focus got these songs in my head,
Should be crunching numbers but I’m crushing scales instead,

No time to socialize I’d rather shred,
I haven’t seen my friends, they all think I’m dead,

I drive a shitty Honda and I can’t afford a date,
Cause now I play my guitar 7 hours a day 


I want to play my guitar,
Oh let me play my guitar, 

I’m just a slave to my guitar,
Not trying to blame my guitar, 

The boss don’t understand why I always show up late,
Cause she don’t play the guitar 7 hours a day 


Stay up all night then I wake up late,
Strap on my new favorite axe the rest of the day,

Don’t, take a shower but I look OK,
No one seems to notice on Zoom anyway,

Can’t land a single interview my resumes a waste,
But I can play the guitar 7 hours a day 

So I can play my guitar,
Can’t stay away from my guitar 

You’d think I’m dating my guitar,
Still haven’t paid off this guitar

I hate to leave you now but the clock is getting late,
Still need to play my guitar 7 hours a day
Hold all my calls
Turn off my display
My need to care is MIA
Just playing my guitar 7 hours a day 

Been trying hard to finish this song,
My skin is pale and my hair’s getting long,

It’s got a really rocking riff but something’s wrong,
I think it has potential but the sounds a bit off,
Producer say don’t complicate it give it to ‘em straight
Then you’ll get paid to play guitar 7 hours a day 


So now I play my guitar,
Come let me play my guitar, 

Can’t put away my guitar,
Really should name my guitar
Just elevating my guitar
Would never trade in my guitar
Not overrated my guitar
Don’t try to blame my guitar,
If you’re over-educated and you’re in a job you hate,
Go get a used guitar, play it every day,

Now I’m taking care of business just lying in the shade,
Cause I been playing my guitar 7 hours a day
