Heading to College
Though highschool's over, and proved to be grueling
I'm told that I'm not quite done with my schooling
I'm headed to a place where where I'll get no sleep
The classes start early and the books aren't cheap
But the sun shines high and the people aren't judges
They have good times and they don't hold grudges
High school was a burden and it caused this distress
But I tossed my cap and hit Refresh
While I made good friends and a girl even kissed me
I'm heading to a system where the odds aren't against me
My parents may cry and they may beg 'Stay!'
But the chicks leave the nest and the kids move away
Daddy says don't drink 'cause you know you'll hurl
Momma wants me to meet some cute southern girl
"Don't cause any trouble and obey your authorities"
"And whatever you do, stay away from sororities"
The first years were grueling, but I'm back in the gate.
And that, to me, is truly great
So now we're off! My faithful friends,
The old is done. The new begins
And when I'm all through and my college time ends
I'll look back and know that I'd do it again
