Hey, sometimes it's helpful to know you're not the only one who gets down.

Sad is ok Monday through Thursday. .......We might not be able to be young again, but we can still be happy even if it's only for a short time.

Well said, brother

This is a good happy throwback track for me.

Fun little SlammedZero tidbit about this track: In 2010, Boise State was getting their first national broadcast appearance on ABC for a Saturday night game against Oregon. It was a big deal for the program and the fans. This was the first song I heard for the day when I turned on the radio. Later that night, Boise won 37–24. That night did indeed turn into a good night.

Watch this and tell you you're not smiling
