lyrics

I was always a loud one
Always had an answer
Reinforced in the classroom
A smart mouth that moved faster than my mind
Conscience: Non-existent
Blame it on adolescence
Learn the lessons the hard way
Driving friends other places

Is this the type of apology you get from a smart-ass?

At age 12, picked up 6-strings
Certainly thought impressive
Wrote songs that I thought I should
Singing things that I knew nothing about
High school left me numb then
Though without medication
Just the wasted potential
Of all my friends and me

If you're waiting for the part where I turn it all around, I'm not sure we get there

At 18, got my heart broke
And dove into depression
Head-first with a frown on
As if it was my only choice
Rebuilt walls of sarcasm
Decorated my island
Saved by education
Clocked in from 8 to 5

Sometimes the things we don't want to do are what we need to get where we want

Earned degree with high standing
While still earning a living
Some say I should be proud of that
But I just put in the time
Got trapped in the comfort
Of commas in my bank account
But digits will mean nothing
Until they are all gone

I was always a loud one
But now I'm all out of answers
So the world is my classroom
But it turns so much faster than I'd like
So I'll pack up my 6-strings
and get lost on a highway
Learn my lessons the fun way
Driving other places
