lyrics

Yes sir that’s correct, just two years of college
I guess I never quite found what I was looking for
Who knows, maybe things would’ve turned out better
I got by loading trucks and sweeping floors
That’s right, it says three jobs in just nine months
And ‘though I’m never one to stick around too long
Most of my former employers will vouch for my work ethic
Then they’ll tell you I resigned ‘cause I was chasing a song

Chasing a song ain’t for the choosing
You chase the song because it first chased you

I agree, sir, as a white working class male
I’ve had more than my fair share of chances to get things right
But the muse can be illusive and whenever it shows up
I drop what I’m doing and I don’t let it out of sight
Ah here it comes, you tell me that you play guitar too
And that you wanted to be a rock star when you were young
And you’re just glad that somebody talked some sense into you
Respectfully, I’d say that’s not the same as chasing a song

Chasing a song ain’t for the choosing
You chase the song because it first chased you

Thanks for your time and I hope that I’m still in the running
For your car wash technician position, I guess I’ll be going
You’ve got my number if you have any other questions
In the mean time I’ll be busy chasing a song

Chasing a song ain’t for the choosing
You chase the song because it first chased you
