           F
If you're tired of your life and
the way that you feel
        A#
Like a fish on a hook,
                       F               A#
Like a bug on a dirty windshield, it's ok
      F
It's time to take your chips and cash them all in
           A#
Cause it matters where you're going
                         F
Not where you been, say hey
               A#
Goodbye yesterday
         F                  A#
Well if life don't go your way
            F               A#
Maybe it's time to take a break,
Yeah, yeah

Chorus:
F
Raise your hands in the air tonight
A#
Put a little love back in your life
F
Get your feet up, just kick it
A#
We got a one way ticket
F
Sunshine and bright and it's meant for us
A#
Life is like a ride on a party bus
F
Turn the radio up and sing along with it
A#
We got a one way ticket

So pack up your smile and your new flip flops
We're headed to a heaven where the beat don't stop
We'll dance the day and the night away
Grab yourself a gal, grab yourself a fella
Grab yourself a drink with a pink umbrella
Goodbye yesterday
Whenever life don't go your way
Well, maybe it's time to take a nice long break

Chorus:
Raise your hands in the air tonight
Put a little love back in your life
Get your feet up, woo, and just kick it, hey
We got a one way ticket
Sun's shining bright and it's meant for us
Life is like a ride on a party bus
Turn the radio up and sing along with it, hey
We got a one way ticket
Ooh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

So raise your hands in the air tonight
Raise your hands in the air tonight, whoa
Punch that clock and call it a day
Say adios to the minimum wage
Tell your boss man where he can stick it, hey
We got a one way ticket
Life is so good, it's sticky sweet
It’s a carnival cotton candy treat
Unwrap it like a lollipop, lick it, hey
We got a one way ticket

Ooh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Whoa-oh-oh
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, oh
