Verse 1
Alex wakes up around eleven, says he’s got a busy day,
Grabs his scooter by the front door and he’s on his way,
Cruising down to Newhart with the California sun,
No schedule, no responsibilities, just looking for some fun.
Hits the park to see his buddies hanging out beneath the trees,
Talking trash and telling stories with a warm afternoon breeze,
Life is pretty simple and he’s got it figured out,
No stress, no drama, no reason to pout.
Pre-Chorus
Videos on his phone,
Never really alone,
Living like a king without a throne.
Chorus
Alex is living his best life,
Scooter wheels and sunshine,
Free soda at Panera,
Everything is feeling fine.
He’s got friends, he’s got time,
He’s got nowhere he should be,
The only thing that’s really wrong,
The Padres can’t win consistently.
Verse 2
Back at home he’s watching videos for the hundredth time today,
Finding weird stuff on the internet and laughing all the way,
His friends keep sending memes and making plans to meet,
Then they’re heading back outside because the weather can’t be beat.
Another trip to Panera,
Refill number three,
The cashier knows his face by now,
And doesn’t charge a fee.
Pre-Chorus
Videos on his phone,
Never really alone,
Living like a king without a throne.
Chorus
Alex is living his best life,
Scooter wheels and sunshine,
Free soda at Panera,
Everything is feeling fine.
He’s got friends, he’s got time,
He’s got nowhere he should be,
The only thing that’s really wrong,
The Padres can’t win consistently.
Bridge
Every season starts the same,
“This year’s different,” fans proclaim,
Then September rolls around,
And somehow they’re still letting him down.
He shakes his head,
He laughs and sighs,
Then watches highlights and wonders why.
Final Chorus
Alex is living his best life,
Rolling through another day,
Scooter pointed toward adventure,
Going wherever he wants to stray.
Friends around and skies are blue,
Nothing much to worry about,
Except the Padres finding brand-new ways
To strike out.
Outro
Tomorrow he’ll do it all again,
Scooter, friends, and free caffeine,
Living his best California dream…
If only the Padres had a winning team.
