Dance Like the Rent's Not Due

Verse

Twenty dollars and a tank half full

Windows down on Calle Sol

Mango juice running down my wrist

Kissed by the sun, we don't need a list

Radio crackling that same old beat

Salt on my skin, sand on my feet

Somebody's cousin brought a speaker out

That's all we need, that's what tonight's about

Pre-Chorus

So what if the moon's the only light we got

Who's counting hours when the night's this hot

We got nothing but time and a borrowed guitar

Tell me where else you'd rather be than right here where we are

Chorus

We dance like the rent's not due

Barefoot on the rooftop, sky painted blue

Twenty-two and burning bright

Living loud tonight

We dance like the rent's not due

Every worry left behind with the avenue

Palms up, hearts wide

Dance like the rent's not due

Verse

Corner store ice pops melting fast

Papi's old car radio, static and brass

We split a plate, we split the bill

Laughing so hard we forgot the hill

Fireflies clock in when the sun goes down

Whole block moving, no need for a crown

Abuela's chimes swinging on the wire

This is the summer we don't want to retire

Pre-Chorus

So what if the moon's the only light we got

Who's counting hours when the night's this hot

We got nothing but time and a borrowed guitar

Tell me where else you'd rather be than right here where we are

Chorus

We dance like the rent's not due

Barefoot on the rooftop, sky painted blue

Twenty-two and burning bright

Living loud tonight

We dance like the rent's not due

Every worry left behind with the avenue

Palms up, hearts wide

Dance like the rent's not due

Bridge

One day the bills will find our door

One day we'll count what the summer's for

But tonight the stars don't ask for proof

Just conga lines and a borrowed roof

Let tomorrow knock, we ain't answering yet

This is the only kind of rich we get

Chorus

We dance like the rent's not due

Barefoot on the rooftop, sky painted blue

Twenty-two and burning bright

Living loud tonight

We dance like the rent's not due

Every worry left behind with the avenue

Palms up, hearts wide

Dance like the rent's not due
