shut the school down

Verse 1

Alarm goes off at six AM

Books stacked up on the floor again

Got a pop quiz and a lecture hall

Man I'm not built for this at all

Pre-Chorus

Yeah the bell rings and I drag my feet

Wish the whole damn building hit repeat

Chorus

Shut the school down

Let the hallways go quiet

Tear the covers back and buy some time

Shut the school down

No more deadlines burning

Boys got rods to wet and fish to learn

Let the summer come and stay all year

Shut the school down and keep me here

Post-Chorus

Yeah shut it down

Shut it on down

Verse 2

Teacher talking fractions on the board

I'm out the window watching clouds get bored

There's a back porch swing that's calling me

And a two-lane road that's free

Pre-Chorus

Yeah the bell rings and I drag my feet

Wish the whole town let me off the street

Chorus

Shut the school down

Let the hallways go quiet

Tear the covers back and buy some time

Shut the school down

No more deadlines burning

Boys got rods to wet and fish to learn

Let the summer come and stay all year

Shut the school down and keep me here

Post-Chorus

Yeah shut it down

Shut it on down

Bridge

I'll learn a thing or two outdoors

From the riverbanks and rusted doors

Ain't no textbook gonna beat that view

So come on and close it down for good

Chorus

Shut the school down

Let the hallways go quiet

Tear the covers back and buy some time

Shut the school down

No more deadlines burning

Boys got rods to wet and fish to learn

Let the summer come and stay all year

Shut the school down and keep me here

Post-Chorus

Yeah shut it down

Shut it on down
