Lyrics
[Verse 1]
John J Patrick, CPA
He gets no rest, night or day
DEC Rainbow computer glow-in' blue
Tax forms stacked up to the roof
Coffee gone cold by noon
He’s been chasin’ every number
Crossing lines in the dark
Like the whole year lived in thunder
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the calendar flips
And his head won’t quit
He hears April in the hall
Feels that panic start to crawl
[Chorus]
April sixteen
You hit the finish line
John, you’re done, you’re clean
April sixteen
You hit the finish line
Tax season’s in the rearview scene
Patti says, “John, take a breath and chill-lax”
(You made it through)
April sixteen
You hit the finish line
There’s nothing left to do
[Verse 2]
He wakes up sharp at dawn
Heart jumpin’, time to get runnin’
Reaches for the pile of paper
Finds his abacus a short time later
Patti leans on the frame
Smilin’ like she knows his game
Says, “John, put it all away
You’ve earned a quiet day”
[Pre-Chorus]
He turns pale, says, “Oh no, what now?”
Hands still full of returns
Then she laughs and takes his pen
Says, “Not today, not again”
[Chorus]
April sixteen
You hit the finish line
John, you’re done, you’re clean
April sixteen,
(You made it through)
April sixteen
You hit the finish line
There’s nothing left to do
[Break]
[Solo Finger-style Virtuosity acoustic guitar]
[Bridge]
He looks at that old adding machine
Like it kept him a hostage for some time
Patti shuts the office door
The silence feels like peaceful score
One deep breath, one slow grin
He lets the whole thing in
No more forms, no more fear
Time for a good book, puzzle, and beer
[Chorus]
April sixteen
You hit the finish line
John, you’re done, you’re clean
April sixteen
You hit the finish line
Tax season’s in the rearview scene
Patti says, “John, take a breath and chill-lax”
(You made it through)
April sixteen
You hit the finish line
There’s nothing left to do
[Outro]
There’s nothing left to do
(nothing left to do)
April sixteen
You hit the finish line
JOHN’ RETIRED AND HE’S DOIN FINE!
