[Verse 1]
Work, work, work
Big pile of it and the boss is a jerk
I just want to disappear
Wishin' I was somewhere other than here

[Pre-Chorus]
Livin' for the weekend, jumpin' off the deep end
With just enough money to buy a license to chill
And I believe I will
Let the rat race run, roll around in the sun until

[Chorus]
Trouble turns funny and songs get sung
With a little bit of money, the night's still young
Leave me alone, I've got a license
A license to chill

[Verse 2: Kenny Chesney]
Girls, girls, girls
Ain't nothin' like them in the whole wide world
So damn smart and cute
And it's amazing what they pass off as a bathing suit

[Pre-Chorus: Kenny Chesney]
Winners and losers, sailors and cruisers
We're all qualified for a license to chill
And I believe I will
Let the rat race run, roll around in the sun until
[Chorus: Kenny Chesney]
Trouble turns funny and songs get sung
A little bit of money, the night's still young
Leave me alone, I've got a license
A license to chill

[Refrain: Kenny Chesney & Jimmy Buffett]
License to chill
And I believe I will
Let the rat race run, roll around in the sun until

[Chorus: Both, Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney]
Trouble turns funny, songs get sung
One good samba lasts all night long
Leave me alone, I've got a license
A license to chill, a license to chill

[Outro: Jimmy Buffett]
Ramos, go rent me a coupe Deville
Hey KL, where's that barbecue grill?
Head on down to Margaritaville
Have me a cheeseburger with a big pickle dill
Jesus, I sound kinda mentally ill
I guess I better go turn on Dr. Phil
