Great Career

from Your Golden Years by Evan Kelley

	/

lyrics

The last five years have been an interesting journey and I will spend my time completely terrified...

...of what the next five will bring for me and my friends. I don't want to lose them but I know time will stem...

...us into different paths and routes and you still haven't heard the news about how our lives will go once we move away from home.

And you'll get a great career and you'll move far away from here and that's just how it goes when you're on your own. That's just how it goes when you're on your own.

The last five weeks have been a blurry god damn mess and I will spend my time worrying how to dress...

...for these interviews that I have to do, though I don't want that, I would rather spend...

...my time on the road again with all of my best friends going state to state wondering where we'll stay.

And we'll sleep inside our car and trust me it is not to far until we reach our home, it's just up the road. Until we reach our home, it's just up the road.

Though I don't have a lot to say, I've said it all before and I will say it again.
We'll all be home by next Tuesday, finally, happily, sitting in your basement.
Though I've lost some of you through mistakes that I could not have changed.
You will always act the same because you are stuck in your ways.

Trace your mistakes back to the source.
Trying to forget, trying to unwind, trying my hardest to relax.
I'ts not a plan I could force.
I don't have anything to be afraid of anymore.
