Man of Habit Lyrics

On the road from here to here, a road I take every day

There's a train station I pass by, it could take me so far away

Grades and jobs and schedules have all kept me off that train

I'm a man of habit you see, I keep every day the same.

Still, some day I'd like to leave here and go with a guitar and a fresh set of strings

Making no plan, just getting out of the flow, so I can see what a singing life brings

And only when my strings break would I come back

And I don't really care if that puts my life off track

Saving nickels and shining shoes, while being told to wait

Take a look at your average day, 'cause you know it will be your fate

I made these habits a long time ago and they seemed like a good idea then

but now they've got a hold over me more than I have a hold over them

Still, some day I'd like to leave here and go with a guitar and a fresh set of strings

Making no plan, just getting out of the flow, so I can see what a singing life brings

And only when my strings break would I come back

And I don't really care if that puts my life off track

Do you know that the other day I nearly got out of this trap

I was in the train station with a ticket on my lap

At the very last minute though I talked myself out of going through

I'm a man of habit you see, and I guess thats what we do

Still, some day I'd like to leave here and go with a guitar and a fresh set of strings

Making no plan, just getting out of the flow, so I can see what a singing life brings

And only when my strings break would I come back

And I don't really care if that puts my life off track

Yes, someday I will leave here and go with a guitar and a fresh set of strings

I have no plan, but I will break this flow, I will see what a singing life brings

And even when my strings break, oh I ain't ever coming back

And I don't give a damn how that puts my life off track
