about

The story of my life ....

lyrics

Monday morning first day of school
Waiting for the bus I gotta find something to do
Tossing rocks at the telephone pole
Kicking a can through an imaginary goal
Watching ants crawl into their hole
When suddenly it occurs to me…..

Did I miss the bus has it come and gone
Was that the one I was supposed to be on
I was looking left it was on my right
Is that my bus fading out of sight

Summer jobs are hard to find
Specially when you’ve got so little time
Today I’m gonna see the Giants play
Tomorrow it’s a movie in the middle of the day
The beach a concert sailing in the bay
When suddenly it dawns on me …..

Did I miss the bus has it come and gone
A summer job was what I should’a been focused on
I was looking left it was on my right
My summer job went sailing out of sight…

Medical school what a crazy idea,
Gotta study hard or it’s sorry we’ll see ya’
So I play guitar in the dorm room hall
Learn to juggle while passing the ball
Paint a mural on the bedroom wall
When suddenly it occurs to me

Did I miss the bus has it come and gone
Was that the career path I was supposed to be on
I was looking left it was on my right
Is that my med school fading out of sight

Then for oh so many years I was good
Catching every bus that I thought I should
But I can’t say I was having fun
Always working on the run making sure it all gets done
Now I’ve figured something out I want to share with everyone

You’ve gotta miss the bus from time to time
Let it go you know it ain’t no crime
Don’t wring your hands don’t fret and fuss
‘Cause looking back the best of times I had
Was when I missed …the bus
