The Flycatchers - College Dropout

I'm just a no good freshman year drop out
From college 2012
Ya that's what they say when I went away
To figure out some things for myself

Ya I was nineteen
Just a kid with a dream
Had no plans and nowhere to go
So I followed my friends and went off to school
Where buried myself in the loans

All of the things I thought that I knew
Were quick to throw sand in my eye
But you can't pay your dues without lessons to learn
And learning is always a price
Cause I'm just a no good freshman year drop out
From college 2012

So I went off to work
Put my hands in the dirt
Swinging hammers and pulling my weight
Had to show all my friends
That money I earned
Thinking my wallet might carry my worth

All the things I thought that I knew
Pushed me down and they spit in my face
But you can't pay your dues without lessons to learn
I seem to be leaning on grace
I'm just a no good freshman year drop out
Working for the man and the bills

Settle down those of you who worry too much
Doubt is a merciless thief
That fire will burn you down in time
If you can't learn to stand in the heat
We're all fighting the same
Just trying to find a place
What would I know anyway

I'm just a no good freshman year drop out
From college 2012
Ya that's what they'd say when I went away
To figure out some things for myself
