just you

I'm not used to failing
I quit my job the other day
I just couldn't take it anymore
Working my nine to five
breaking my back
just so the man can take away
half of what I just earned
I'm tired of taking classes
that I don't need to take
I'm going to spend
three more years in this place
just to get a degree
that most can get online now
I feel like I'm about to fail
at everything I set out to do
in my life a few years ago
I was raised in the generation
that honestly believed
they would live forever
but the clock is ticking
and I'm losing ground
but if all I ever
accomplish in my lifetime
is raising a family with you
I'll die a happy man
with no regrets
just as long as I have you....
