Rubber Meets The Road

When I was a little boy
Always staring at the moon
Wondering what it was all about
And would I get there soon

But when it comes down to where the rubber meets the road
Everyone must learn to do exactly as they're told
Get real

Once I was a teen
And spaceships ruled my life
Thought that maybe I
Would lead a different kind of life

When I was a young man
My imagination shrinking
Clinging to my dreams
Like a life raft that is sinking

But when it comes down to where the rubber meets the road
Everyone must learn to do exactly as they're told
You've got your head up in the clouds
And mud stuck to your feet
You thought you had it figured out
Didn't know you was asleep

When I was a grown man
Still thought I had half a chance
Had it looping through my brain
Like I was stuck inside a trance

But somewhere along the line
With the endless cups of coffee
I learned to play along
Filling out my timesheet

You thought you had it figured out
Didn't know you was asleep
Thought you had it figured out
Didn't mean to sell so cheap
