Lyrics

"Wanna do it?"
"Yep"
"Sure about...um...1...2...1, 2, 3"
In the year of 1990
That's when I came about
Doesn't seem that long ago when you say it out loud
I was always a little bit too young
Or maybe it was, I was too old
Either way I was an infant or a dead man, and neither one gets invited to a prom
Born into the suburbs
In this pretty Texan neighborhood
I got kicked out of class a lot
Guess I wasn't all that good
And this one time a girl, she called me ugly
But that didn't get me down
About 12 years later that same girl kissed me, y'know
Perseverence
It's a funny thing, this life
Am I doing it right?
Who's to say?
It's a long, hard road
'Til that road don't go no more
Then you gotta lay some tracks you never tread upon
My lullabies were hymns
And conservative talk radio
I often got the Psalms and the Constitution confused
"Love your neighbor" is simple enough
Up until your neighbor is the church
With a sign that reads
"Members Only, All Violators Will Be Towed"
That's a true story
Still, I stayed inside the lines
Except for all the times I did not
And I was good
But I was better at not getting caught
It's a funny thing, this life
Am I doing it right?
Who's to say?
It's a long, hard road
'Til that road don't go no more
Then you gotta lay some tracks you never tread upon
I was handed this world
And someday I'll hand it back
What lies between those hands is a great mystery
I hope along the way some of you will have accepted me
And others of you, I ask that you forgive me
And if ever we all meet again elsewhere, that'd sure be nice
It's a funny thing, this life
Am I doing it right?
Who's to say?
It's a long, hard road
'Til that road don't go no more
Then you gotta lay some tracks you never tread upon
I said, it's a funny, funny thing, this life
Am I doing it right?
Well, I'll find out along the way
