I remember 21

Fresh out of school thinking I was done

Waiting for the calls to come

I’m still waiting for someone to tell me where I go to get my millions

Somewhere down the line I realized

No one cares about my hungry eyes

Hungry for the world to identify

Who I am as more than just a passerby

I must have missed the course in life 101

Where they tell you that tomorrow might not be so fun

I guess I’ll have to make it up someday

Can I get credit for the way I feel today?

Whatever happened to the lazy days with all my friends?

Watching our money go away as the game ends

Even if we won we just played again

The days you don’t forget, money well spent

Now I’m watching everyone venture out

Trying to see what the real world is all about

One by one disappearing down the aisle

Maybe I should start to think about my life

I’m ready for more

Now I’m ready to explore

Finally I’m where I want to be

When all I had to do was sleep until the night came

I used to revel in the way I wasn’t tied to anything

But the time has come to make a choice where I stand

What will become of the man that I say I am?

No more living off of what I’ve done

No more waiting for the numbers to come

I’m ready for whatever comes my way

I got the credit for the way I feel today
