lyrics

Maybe I should just give up?
And tell the kids not to follow their dreams
Dreams never really amount to much

Maybe I should shine my shoes
Put on a business suit
Polish up my resume

chorus:
But I don’t want to be
Someone who always seems to say the same things like...
I wish I would’ve when I could've but I didn’t...
Thought I shouldn’t, thought I couldn’t...
So I didn’t... but I wish I would’ve... you know I could’ve
But now I’m just grown old

People give me advice
Tell what I should do
Like “when are you going to grad school?”

"Get yourself a nicer car."
"Buy yourself some fancy clothes."
"Get yourself a fat bank account."

I know life is tough
I got all these bills and such
I got holes in my favorite jeans

But I have this old guitar
I write these simple words
All I can give you is a song
