It seems that nothing here
Has gone quite as planned
Cause now I’m sitting here with my shoes filled with sand
And I eat these stale saltines
And I second guess my dreams
I knew this wouldn’t be
like an easy bake
Done in ten minutes and
Not that hard to make
Cause I know if I want to do this right
That I have to put up a fight
Cause it’s getting harder every day
With a mountain of bills to pay
And the question of where the money’s coming from
Now I’m facing these uncertainties
When I’d rather be working for my dream
And if you ask me if I’m scared
I’ll say, “yeah”
I’ve been playing everywhere I can
In basements and bars
I’ve been sleeping at these rest stops
Looking at the stars
And I don’t think I’d change a thing
If I’d still get to sing
Cause it’s getting harder every day
With a mountain of bills to pay
And the question of where the money’s coming from
Now I’m facing these uncertainties
When I’d rather be working for my dream
And if you ask me if I’m scared
I’ll say, “yeah”
I don’t think I’m foolish at all
A little selfish but that’s easy to call
And I’d rather be working for what I believe
Than something I could not conceive
Cause it’s getting harder every day
With a mountain of bills to pay
And the question of where the money’s coming from
Now I’m facing these uncertainties
When I’d rather be working for my dream
And if you ask me if I’m scared
I’ll say, “yeah”
