I Always Get In My Way

I Always Get In My Way
Copyright 2010 by Rick Cheadle


Well I know I need out of this place
Pick up the pieces, live a new way
Don’t like my job and my roommates a slob
The fish don’t bite , the future isn’t so bright - For me

So I looked on line and made some new plans
You know I’d leave right now if I had the chance
But my tank is low, And my wallet is week
My friend just called , he said let’s have a drink - It’s on me

I’m driving on a long, lost road to nowhere
I know the right direction but I always get lost
Ya see status quo works if you like where you’re going
I just live for today
It’s myself I betray
I know I need to change
Because I always get in my way

I know I should go out and make some new friends
Surround myself with helping hands to lend
My will’s as low as my self esteem
I’d trade it all just to fulfill my dreams - We’ll see

I’m driving on a long, lost road to nowhere
I know the right direction but I always get lost
Ya see status quo works if you like where you’re going
I just live for today
It’s myself I betray
I know I need to change
Because I always get in my way
