about

Did you ever have a day at work where you knew the only way to get through it was to step out to the bar down the road and have a couple drinks with your friends? Me too. My friend Joseph Dosterglick inspired this song when he came to this moment in life and acted on it. Knowing it would result in a write-up, he confidently and casually enjoyed his beverages and then returned to work in a fantastic mood. HR was not happy but Joe was thrilled. His work performance that day was astounding.

This track was recorded at Jefferson Street Studios (Bloomington, IN) and engineered by Ben Fowler and Matt Teden, with additional tracks submitted from Stonecutter in Chicago where it was engineered by Chris Steinmetz. The horn parts were arranged by Matt Romey.

It was produced by J. C. Clements and Andy Beargie at Blockhouse Studio in Bloomington, Indiana. Musicians on the cut include J. C. Clements on vocals, Jason Blankenship on guitar, Chris Forte on lead guitar, Chuck Wills on guitar, Chris "Hambone" Cameron on organ/keys, Olivia McDermott Sipe and Janiece Jaffe on backing vocals, Patrick Cully on bass, Rob Davis on drums, Ben Fowler on percussion, John Missick on additional drums, Dylan Maloney on saxophone, Nick Recktenwald on Trumpet, and Ben Fowler on bari-sax.

This Beyond Blue records release was written by J. C. Clements and published by Beyond Blue publishing.

lyrics

Work has been so bad I know – There’s gotta be somewhere we can go
Call your Friends, call a cab - This is where the fun is had
We are gonna throw back shots and pull no punches
Fuck the boss, get liquid lunches

Blow off work - burn through the money
Blow off work - burn through the money
Blow off work - burn through the money

I know a place right downtown
Been years since I been there, it’s still around
I know the bartender pours them strong
Bring your friends they can all come along
Nobody lives forever, nothing lasts that long

Blow off work and burn through the money
Blow off work and burn through the money
Blow off work and burn through the money

Work has been so bad I know – There’s gotta be somewhere we can go
Call your Friends, call a cab - This is where the fun is had
We are gonna throw back shots and pull no punches
Fuck the boss, get liquid lunches
