Lyrics

[00:03.86] Well I thought about the army
[00:05.91] Dad said, son youre ****ing high
[00:08.35] And I thought, yeah theres a first for everything
[00:11.92] So I took my old mans advice
[00:14.55] Three sad semesters
[00:16.35] It was only 15 grand spent in bed
[00:20.04] I thought about the army
[00:21.92] I dropped out and joined a band instead
[00:35.16] Grew a moustache and a mullet
[00:37.41] Got a job at chick-fil-a
[00:39.98] Citing artistic differences
[00:43.11] The band broke up in may
[00:45.11] And in june reformed without me
[00:47.85] And theyd got a different name
[00:50.17] I nuked another grandmas apple pie
[00:53.11] And hung my head in shame
[00:55.54]
[01:00.77] Been thinking a lot today
[01:05.90] Been thinking a lot today
[01:12.15] Oh, I think Ill write a screenplay
[01:17.46] Oh, I think Ill take it to la
[01:21.02]
[01:22.39] Oh, I think Ill get it done yesterday
[01:25.89]
[02:25.71] In this time of introspection
[02:28.14] On the eve of my election
[02:30.64] I say to my reflection
[02:33.02] God please spare me more rejection
[02:37.15] cause my peers they criticize me
[02:38.77] And my ex-wives all despise me
[02:41.34] Try to put it all behind me
[02:43.71] But my redneck past is nipping at my heels
[02:51.71] Ive been thinking a lot today
[02:56.71] Ive been thinking a lot today
[03:02.02] Ive been thinking a lot today
[03:07.84] I thought about the army...
