Lyrics

Get to the radio station by 6am to promote the show on the morning news
Keep makeup on till 2am till you shake some hands, pay the band then lie awake back at the room
Try not to fall asleep with the vehicle on cruise

Musician Standard Time, ‘cause you’re in a different zone
Musician Standard Time, whether close or far from home
You never know what time it really is when you’re on the road
It’s just part of the lifestyle that makes you crazy prone
So if you’re that kind, just fall in line, livin’ on Musician Standard Time

Stay up to jam with buddies ‘cause the music never quits
The next show is the next day and you gotta rehearse, but sound check’s first, that alarm clock is the pits
‘cause you were dreamin’ that you wrote the next big hit

Musician Standard Time, ‘cause you’re in a different zone
Musician Standard Time, whether in Fort Worth or in Rome
You never know what time it really is when you’re on the road
It’s just part of the lifestyle that makes you crazy prone
So if you’re that kind, just fall in line, livin’ on Musician Standard Time

You count seconds by the measure and the hours by what you slept
Your internal clock only knows how many songs you got, unless you talk a lot, till the end of every set
You don’t do Daylight Savings Time, ‘cause… what is daylight, anyway?

Musician Standard Time, ‘cause you’re in a different zone
Musician Standard Time, whether in France or Idaho
You never know what time it really is when you’re on the road
It’s just part of the lifestyle that makes you crazy prone
So if you’re that kind, just fall in line, livin’ on Musician Standard Time

You tick to a different tune, beat to a different drum
Time is money, money’s short, so you live off adrenaline
And only stop! When the drummer does
