RIGHT ON TRACK

They sit you down at seventeen

"Where ya goin'? What you gonna be?"

And all you want's a straightaway and an old fastback

Nineteen and a new tattoo

Mom and Dad say, "You gotta move"

So you hit the road and grow your hair long in the back

You're right on track

Twenty-one with a few roommates

Splittin' rent so the bills get paid

With a little left for some shoebox smoke and an old six-pack

Twenty-three and you're on the run

Livin' life like a smokin' gun

And thirty's lookin' like I'll never live to see that

You're right on track

When it's all goin' to hell, like the train's about to crash

Runnin' off the rails, just keep your foot down on the gas

When you find a road that you don't know, boy, just don't look back

Ain't no right turn in the rearview, no future in the past

And right when a little bit of luck finds you right where you're at

Oh, you're a couple months off twenty-eight

Bein' told to act your age

But you ramble on 'cause where's the fun in that?

Thirty-one, and all your friends

Are settled down with a couple kids

You say that ain't for you through half a laugh

You're right on track

When it's all goin' to hell, like the train's about to crash

Runnin' off the rails, just keep your foot down on the gas

When you find a road that you don't know, boy, just don't look back

Ain't no right turn in the rearview, no future in the past

And right when a little bit of luck finds you right where you're at

Oh, you're right on track

You're right on track

You're right on track

You're right on track

You're right on track

You're right on track

Right on track

Right on track

Right on track

When you're lost but ain't lost hope

Boy, just don't look back

Ain't no right turn in the rearview

Ain't no future in the past

You're right on track

You're right on track

You're right on track
