Freshman year mama asked what do you wanna
do when you get out of here.
i said well gee mama, i'm only 13, but i think i'd like to play my guitar...be a star
She said "well thats not so bad...I guess you got some time to go,
good sense will kick in any time you know.
i'm not worried, oh i'm not worried"

Softmore year she asked the same old thing,
my answer had remained unchanged
i smiled, she fidgits with her thumbs,
she said "you like computers right John? Yeah! you like computers don't you?
you see i always see you on a computer! you like computers!
maybee you could do something with computers? yea wouldn't that be nice."

Junior year, its a little more tense she says,
"what do you want to do with your life?"
i'm not on the fence, i know exactly what i am to be
and i'm only 17.

"John, 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 reputible, and do us proud."
so i went downstairs, shut the door and played guitar loud.

yeah and senior year, its the same old question
she said what you wanna do?
i said "play my guitar and sing" then she said "there's no such thing"
she said thers no such thing"
