PJ's by Emory: Frat Brunch Forever

Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Down on Oxford Road, past the campus gates
Dim light spilling on the sidewalk, sealing all our fates
Sticky floors and jukebox glow, a pitcher for the table
The game is on the TV set, the volume's unstable
We piled into red vinyl booths, cracked and deep and worn
A sanctuary from the dorms, where legends could be born

[Chorus]
Oh! We called it brunch but it was afternoon!
Raise a glass to PJ's and a cheap-beer-magic moon!
Stomping on the floorboards, singing out of tune!
Frat Brunch Forever, gone too soon!

[Verse 2]
There was history in the oak grain, a hundred other lives
I took my car key to the wood, a secret that survives
Carved a 'J plus T' and 'Class of '09' right there in the grain
A promise to remember, through the sun and through the rain
Every table was a diary, every scar a sacred text
Who we were and who we loved and what was coming next

[Chorus]
Oh! We called it brunch but it was afternoon!
Raise a glass to PJ's and a cheap-beer-magic moon!
Stomping on the floorboards, singing out of tune!
Frat Brunch Forever, gone too soon!

[Bridge]
And now it's just a memory, a story that we tell
'Bout a dive bar sanctuary, our own little heaven-hell
Those tables have been sanded down, or burned for all I know
But the ghosts of every Friday night still have a place to go

[Chorus]
OH! WE CALLED IT BRUNCH BUT IT WAS AFTERNOON!
RAISE A GLASS TO PJ'S AND A CHEAP-BEER-MAGIC MOON!
STOMPING ON THE FLOORBOARDS, SINGING OUT OF TUNE!
FRAT BRUNCH FOREVER, GONE TOO SOON!

[Outro]
Hey! Hey! Frat Brunch Forever!
Hey! Hey! Gone too soon!
Hey! Hey! Frat Brunch Forever!
