Chevrolet Van

I got some free advice

Just the other day from an old relative of mine

He said, "You know I dig what you do

But I think you're wasting your time, yes, I do"

"Because drivin' around and gettin' drunk

With your friends in a band every night, yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun

But you need a plan B

'Cause it ain't gonna last long past twenty one"

You'll never make enough money

And no one cares about the things you're sayin'

You're gonna wake up some day

Man, you'll wish you got a job

Spent half your life in that Chevrolet

Drivin' up and down the freeway

Someday when you're too old to play

Man, you'll wish you got a job

Bummed a cigarette from a guy when I was in Manhattan last week

And I told him politely, "Thank you"

And with this hollowed out look, he turned and said

"You know, for twenty-five years now, I've been a banker"

"And you know, in all my many years of life

I suddenly feel obliged to impart to you this free piece of advice

You must invest in your future"

I said, "Thanks for the cigarette, but I think I know the rest"

Oh, you'll never make enough money

And no one cares about the things you're sayin'

You're gonna wake up some day

Man, you'll wish you got a job

Spend half your life in that Chevrolet

Drivin' up and down the freeway

Someday when you're too old to play

Man, you'll wish you got a job

You'll never make enough money

And no one cares about the things you're sayin'

You're gonna wake up some day

Man, you'll wish you got a job

Spend half your life in that Chevrolet

Drivin' up and down the freeway

Someday when you're too old to play

Man, you'll wish you got a job

Yeah, you'll never make enough money

And no one cares about the things you're sayin'

You're gonna wake up some day

Man, you'll wish you got a job
