Lyrics

Long week, pages stacked like mountains on my desk
Wallet’s running empty but my soul is doing best
I don’t read the notes, no charts in front of me
I let my fingers wander where they’re begging to be
Every tired day
Finds a brighter way
When the lights turn low
And the chords start to flow
I’ve got the keys to my weekend
Playing from the heart where the freedom begins
Improvised lines for the new friends I meet
And the beer tastes better when the rhythm is sweet
No, I don’t need much
Life’s good when the melody’s speaking
I’ve got the keys

The keys to my weekend, keys to my weekend
I’ve got the keys to my weekend, keys to my weekend
I’ve got the keys, keys to my weekend
Keys, yeah
I’ve got keys, the keys to my weekend
Play it from the heart, never needing a reason

Coins in my pocket barely pay for the ride
But the pub lights up when the piano hits stride
A guitar joins in, we find a groove unplanned
A song born in seconds with a drink in my hand
Yeah, the weekdays drag
But the nights raise the flag
Where a broke kid can feel
Like the king of the deal
I’ve got the keys to my weekend
Playing from the heart where the freedom begins
Improvised lines for the new friends I meet
And the beer tastes better when the rhythm is sweet
No, I don’t need much
Life’s gold when the melody’s speaking
I’ve got the keys, ooohh
So lift the chords up high, let the night ignite
Take the same old tune to a brand-new height
From the study halls to evening glow
I’m broke in cash, but not in soul
I’ve got the keys to my weekend
Higher notes ringing like the best of my friends
Improvised lines for the stories we keep
And the beer hits sweeter when the harmony’s deep
Yeah, I’ve got enough
Life’s bright when the melody’s speaking
I’ve got the keys

I’ve got the keys to my weekend, keys to my weekend
I’ve got the keys, keys to my weekend
I’ve got the keys, keys to my weekend
Keys to my weekend
