From the recording At the Cookout
An ol' skool feel good tune about spending time with the family after working all week!
Lyrics
Verse 1
Worked all week, now the grind is through,
Clocked out early, got my eyes on you.
Sunshine callin’, music in the breeze,
Family gatherin’, that’s all I need.
Pre-Chorus
Got the grill fired up, let the good times roll,
Dominoes slammin’, let the laughter flow.
No worries, no deadlines, just joy in the air,
We gon’ live it up like we don’t have a care.
Chorus
It’s the weekend, baby, let’s laugh and live,
Eat a little more than we usually give.
Play some games, sing loud, dance free,
At the cookout where we all wanna be.
Verse 2
Uncle on the spades game talkin’ that talk,
Kids runnin’ circles down the sidewalk.
Playlist bumpin’ with that old school groove,
Every single soul got a reason to move.
Pre-Chorus
Burgers on the table, sweet tea on ice,
This moment right here feels more than nice.
Forget the stress, let your spirit shout,
We gon’ do it again, that’s what it’s about.
Chorus
It’s the weekend, baby, let’s laugh and live,
Eat a little more than we usually give.
Play some games, sing loud, dance free,
At the cookout where we all wanna be.
Bridge (call & response)
🎤 “Who brought the love?” — We brought the love!
🎤 “Who brought the joy?” — We brought the joy!

Final Chorus / Outro (layered vocals & adlibs)
It’s the weekend, baby, let’s laugh and live,
Eat a little more than we usually give.
Play some games, sing loud, dance free,
At the cookout where we all wanna be…
(Yeahhh, at the cookout… ohhh, at the cookout!)
