Check It Out Lyrics

A million young poets

Screamin' out their words

To a world full of people

Just livin' to be heard

Future generations

Ridin' on the highways that we built

I hope they have a better understanding



Check it out

Goin' to work on Monday

Check it out

Got yourself a family

Check it out

All utility bills have been paid

You can't tell your best buddy that you love him

So check it out

Where does our time go

Check it out

Got a brand new house in escrow

Check it out

Sleepin' with your back to your loved one

This is all that we've learned about happiness



Check it out

Forgot to say hello to my neighbors

Check it out

Sometimes I question my own behavior

Check it out

Talkin' about the girls that we've seen on the sly

Just to tell our souls we're still the young lions

So check it out

Gettin' too drunk on Saturdays

Check it out

Playin' football with the kids on Sundays

Check it out

Soarin' with the eagles all week long

And this is all that we've learned about living

This is all that we've learned about living



A million young poets

Screamin' out their words

Maybe someday

Those words will be heard

By future generations

Ridin' on the highways that we built

Maybe they'll have a better understanding

Check it out

Hope they'll have a better understanding

Check it out

Maybe they'll have a better understanding

Check it out

Maybe they'll have a better understanding

Check it out

Hope they have a better understanding

Check it out.....
