Lyrics John Reuben

John Reuben

Pataskala

Bright and early in the morning and my day’s on track

Hot coffee in the kitchen okay I’ll take it black

66 degrees with a comfortable breeze

I guess every now and then you get days like these

And I’m thankful hit the city streets grateful

We're living life to the utmost while were young and able

While others fable about where they come from

We’ve got nothing to hide we’re far from stardom

(chorus)

P-a–t-a-s-k-a-l-a O-h-i-o

We never did anything in that place

Just wasted time talking about what we do if given the chance to

Stupid things that we’d never live out

But sure was cool for a moment to think about

You could say just some innocent exaggeration

Just some young adults at fault by imagination

But some how we stretched ourselves and started living it

Life it’s funny sometimes isn’t it

We’re in the sky on a plane over European terrain

Looking down to the ground we watch the Earth change

At night in the car overlooked by afar

Thinking to ourselves none of this is really ours

Perspective changes we could never claim this life

Yahweh spoke and showed us what our aim is

Something that wasn’t alive by heartbeat and breath

And something that’s not left with bone and flesh

(chorus)

Life is too short to sweat the minimal

And things that once seemed simple now seem valuable

Like the simple satisfaction in being content

Or the simple satisfaction in the time we spent

I value everything that our friendship meant

Even though you never paid me back the money I lent

Speaking of which the other day your Mom I saw her

I had to tell her Scott Bellows still owed me fifty dollars

(chorus)
