Intro
(1)Freshman year,
Mom asks "What do you want to do when you get out of here?"
I said, "Well, gee, I'm only 13, but I think I'd like to play
(2)my guitar...(a)be a star."
(1)"Well," she said, "that's not it,you got time to go.
Good sense will kick in anytime, you know.
(2)I'm not worried,(b) I'm not worried."
(1)Sophomore year,
she asked the same old thing,
my answer had remained unchanged.
(2)I saw her (b) fidget with her thumbs.
(1)She said, "You like computers, John,
you like computers, don't you?
Yeah, I always see you with computers...
you like computers
(2)maybe you could do something with computers.
(b)Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?"
(1)Junior year,
It's a little more intense,
She says, "What do you want to do with your life?"
I'm not on the fence, (2) I know exactly what I aim to be,
(b)and I'm only 17.
(1)She said, "Well, all I ask, is that you pay attention in class,
so if you happen to change your mind in time,
you can still go somewhere (2) reputable...
(c)do us proud."
(2)So I went downstairs,
(c)and I played guitar loud.
(3)Yeah, senior year,
Same old question,
She said, "What do you want to do?"
I said, "Play my guitar and sing."
(4)She said, "There's no such thing."
She said, "There's no such thing..."
