The 40 Year Plan

Here are the lyrics: Got a dream that seems so far With just himself and an old guitar Taking a ride to a roadside bar Plugging in to be a big big star. Chorus Just a young man and a 40 year plan And workin that plan day and night Cause a wife and child wont let him be wild Got his whole damn life on the line But dont cry for this man He's making his stand Cause the 40 year plan is goddammed lie Ain't looking to rob no one But been working two jobs son Ain't enough week left at the end of the money Man he's laughing but it ain't funny When you're working a 40 year plan Bossman calling at 5am Gotta find them keys man Little one's sleeping all upside down Old lady passed out from a night on the town She's working the 40 year plan Got home just a little late Trooper pulled over on the interstate Talking bout smelling some beer or some moonshine, Step out biy and walk the line Cause I'm working my own 40 year plan But tonight's a big shot Give it all that he's got Put a tear in aone young girl's eye Break out of the plan this time
