College came and college went
Got a few life skills, mostly debt
Never shoulda gone its my own damn fault
Credits pretty bad the loans in default
I went to school but never wanted to
Was just doing what I thought I had to do
I got me a job but never got too far
Got enough to get me that new used car
Met me a woman who didn’t mind
She works too so we pass the time
Can’t say now, I ever loved her true
But I just did what I thought I had to do
You already know how the story goes
Got A couple of kids next thing I know
Took a job I hated that paid me more
Its one thing to be broke its another to see your kids grow up poor
Worked a lot more than I wanted to
I just did what I thought I had to do
Well My wife finally left, Its been a long time
And I barely hear from those kids of mine
I can still remember how it used to be
When my life was out in front of me
Now I got a quiet little one bedroom
To think of all the things that I had to do.
