RIGHT ON TRACK

They sit you down at 17 "Where ya goin', what you gonna be?" And all you want is a straightaway And an old Fastback

19 and a new tattoo Mom and Dad say you gotta move So you hit the road And grow your hair long in the back You're right on track

21 with a few roommates Splitting rent so the bills get paid With a little left for some shoebox smoke And an old six-pack

23 and you're on the run Living life like a smokin' gun And 30's lookin' like "I'll never live to see that" You're right on track

When it's all going to hell like the train's about to crash Runnin' off the rails Just keep your foot down on the gas When you find a road that you don't know Boy, just don't look back Ain't no right turn in the rearview No future in the past And right when a little bit of luck finds you right where you're at

Oh, you're a couple months off 28 Being told to act your age But you ramble on 'cause where's the fun in that? (Where's the fun in that?) 31 and all your friends are settled down with a couple kids You say, "That ain't for you" through half a laugh You're right on track (you're right on track)

When it's all going to hell like the train's about to crash Runnin' off the rails Just keep your foot down on the gas When you find a road that you don't know Boy, just don't look back Ain't no right turn in the rearview No future in the past And right when a little bit of luck finds you right where you're at Oh, you're right on track You're right on track You're right on track

You're right on track You're right on track You're right on track You're right on track You're right on track Right on track Right on track

When you're lost but ain't lost hope Boy, just don't look back Ain't no right turn in the rearview Ain't no future in the past You're right on track You're right on track You're right on track
