Five Ten And A Half When I Got My Shoes On

by Duncan Jones

I don’t dress to impress I’m low stress I like fun

My style’s outside you won’t find me in the club

I like to get tipsy but I’d rather get higher

And I like my days off I like bein’ retired

I like not doin’ sh** no, I’m in love with it

First time in while, mind’s clear, feel legit

And life is good, life’s grand, relaxin’ ‘cause I can

Got my dose and was out and I left without a plan

But when you got it like we do nothin’s ever a gamble

And when you got it like we do nothin’s hard to handle

So when they say I’m five ten I just smile, move along

Because I’m five ten and a half when I got my shoes on

I guess I just like it hot and summer is my fav

Yeah you can fight the whole world but you can’t fight the wave

Say hey sweet girl we got nothin’ but time

And I’m always lookin’ for a partner in crime

From laid and paid to laid out and faded

We don’t hold sh** back, not exactly understated

So come come mamita won’t you ven p’aca

Ya sabes que yo quiero llevarte a bailar

Yes a drink for me matter of fact make it three

Because I like this band and tonight I’m gonna lean

I got music in my heart I got music in my soul

I find peace in the breeze and I got a new goal

Gimme ten and a pen and I can dance with the paper

But I’m better in person girl you’ll find out later

And if she thinks I’m five ten I’m all, “Nah you so wrong ...”

I’m five ten and a half when I got my shoes on

I guess I just like it hot and summer is my fav

Yeah you can fight the whole world but you can’t fight the wave

Say hey sweet girl we got nothin’ but time

And I’m always lookin’ for a partner in crime

Time becomes days and the years in a line

And the years pass by and soon become time

I seen the cycle come and go and it’s comin’ again

And this time I’m gonna ride and you’re invited my friend

So let’s quit the sh** and let’s get somethin’ fired up

Got nothing to lose but the life we’re tired of

I heard winter’s comin’ but the summer always wins

And changing who’s in the mirror’s how to wash away your sins

Though I’m not quite the brightest I do try to be wise

And I know that after night comes the bright sunrise

And I know I’m five ten, kinda like King Kong

But I’m five ten and a half when I got my shoes on

I guess I just like it hot and summer is my fav

Yeah you can fight the whole world but you can’t fight the wave

Say hey sweet girl we got nothin’ but time

And I’m always lookin’ for a partner in crime

Someone hand me one more that I can’t afford

And I’ll get my sh** together but just not before

Someone passes me another and the stars come out

And we’ll gather ‘round the fire and we’ll sing it out loud

If you got yourself problems well tonight you forget ‘em

And if you got people hatin’ it’s alright you just let ‘em

Because you’re better than that we’re gonna form our own pack

And we’ll run it all the way then we’ll run it right back

This life’s not worth it if you’re not havin’ fun

Never hesitate to say it when you love someone

And if they stand five ten at the end of my song

Then they’re five ten and a half when they got their shoes on

I guess I just like it hot and summer is my fav

Yeah you can fight the whole world but you can’t fight the wave

Say hey sweet girl we got nothin’ but time

And I’m always lookin’ for a partner in crime

I guess I just like it hot and summer is my fav

Yeah you can fight the whole world but you can’t fight the wave

Say hey sweet girl we got nothin’ but time

And I’m always lookin’ for a partner in crime
