V1:
When I was younger I used to have some big dreams
Had a long list of the things i envisioned
Lofty goals I was sure I'd accomplish
All those thing I lined up to check off the list
Finish school, buy a car, find a wife, get a plot
Settle down, have some kids and raise 'em up
Had it all figured out, ever detail written down
Chorus:
It don't always go down like that
When you make your plan
The big man says think again
Making rights 'stead of lefts
And zigs 'stead of zags
At those times it all goes wack
And I'm thinking I've gotten of track
I always end up right where I'm supposed to be
Ain't it funny, ain't life funny like that
V2:
4 years of school picking up all the tools
Knew right where I was going
Had that profession set in the sights
But two pivots later i'm happy as ever
And I've met all my daily faces
In places I never thought I'd be
Some days I still think back to that old made it list
Chorus:
It don't always go down like that
When you make your plan
The big man says think again
Making rights 'stead of lefts
And zigs 'stead of zags
At those times it all goes wack
And I'm thinking I've gotten of track
I always end up right where I'm supposed to be
Ain't it funny, ain't life funny like that
