The sun's beating down, I'm sweating like a pig
A thousand mosquitos, man, this ain't my gig
Paid fifty bucks for a beer that's warm
Wish I'd stayed home, safe from this swarm
Why did I come here? What was I thinkin'?
This concert's a mess, I'd rather be drinkin'
In my own backyard, with my favorite song
No bugs, no sweat, just rocking all night long
The crowd's full of kids, half my age or less
They're on their phones, taking selfies, I guess
Got stepped on twice, someone spilled their drink
This was a bad idea, man, I need a shrink
Why did I come here? What was I thinkin'?
This concert's a mess, I'd rather be drinkin'
In my own backyard, with my favorite song
No bugs, no sweat, just rocking all night long
The band's playing loud, but the sound's out of whack
Can't hear the lyrics, just noise in the back
The speakers are busted, or maybe it's me
All I hear is racket, where's the harmony?
Why did I come here? What was I thinkin'?
This concert's a mess, I'd rather be drinkin'
In my own backyard, with my favorite song
No bugs, no sweat, just rocking all night long
Tried to hit the restroom, but the line's a mile long
By the time I get there, they'll be on the last song
Porta-potties are nasty, the smell is unreal
I'll just hold it in, I guess, it's not a big deal
Why did I come here? What was I thinkin'
This concert's a mess, I'd rather be drinkin'
In my own backyard, with my favorite song
No bugs, no sweat, just rocking all night long
This was supposed to be fun, a night out with friends
But I'm counting the minutes till this torture ends
Next time I'll stay home, with my beer and my tunes
No crowds, no lines, just the light of the moon
Why did I come here? (come here) What was I thinkin'? (thinking)
This concert's a mess (a mess), I'd rather be drinkin' (drinking)
In my own backyard, with my favorite song
No bugs, no sweat, just rocking all night long
