Missed a turn today
The road I found brought me back to yesterday
An old beat-up van that never ran
A boss I couldn't stand

Said I'm on my way
Despite those reasons that I should have stayed
Dreams in hand without a plan
Is a lonely time for a man

Much is made of times like these
Quitting work, rolling up your sleeve
In books and pictures, magazines
When people are telling how they found their dreams
But finding out what you believe
Is never as easy as it seems
I know better
Now

Took a chance that day
Tried not to hear what people had to say
They think they know but they don't know

Said I'm on my way
Pulled out on that street I'm on today
Dreams in hand without a plan
Is a lonely time for a man

Much is made of times like these
Quitting work, rolling up your sleeve
In books and pictures, magazines
When people are telling how they found their dreams
But finding out what you believe
Is never as easy as it seems
I know better
Now

Looking back now it may seem
I found my way with such ease
But I remember on days like these
Just what it took to find these dreams
It wasn't easy, like it seems
In books and pictures, magazine
But, I know I'm better
I know I'm better
Now
