The stories behind Badge Off, Boots On

• Liner Notes: The Bro-Country Sound of Badge Off, Boots On — A gang-vocal chorus and a twangy lead vocal do the same job a tailgate does: make Friday feel like the whole point of the week.
• Badge Off, Boots On Is About What Biomeds Actually Do on the Weekend — A bro-country anthem about clocking out is built directly on survey data about how HTM techs spend their time off.

Lyrics

Bad jaw, boobs on, sun still out

That's what a Friday's all about

Forty hours of tubes and screws and a beeping car

Now it's tailgate season and a cooler in the truck bed

Half of us are packing for somewhere far from here

Half of us got a game on and a cold one in hand

Badge all boots on, gone for the weekend

Somewhere with a ride, a ball or a good pedal game

Badge all boots on, we clock out the same

But we don't come back the same guy who came

Some of us are out chasing whatever runs the wood

Some of us are still suited up to play ourselves sales doesn't matter what it

is long as it ain't a page long as nothing beats for a couple days

come monday we'll be back under the fluorescent light

But right now the only signal is the sunset and the sky

Badge off, boots on, gone for the weekend

Somewhere with a ride, a ball or a good tailgate

Badge off, boots on, we clock out the same

But we don't come back the same guy who came

We Put your boots on

Put your boots on
