The Life You Chose

Who are you if not the one I met
 One July night before the town went wet?
 Jack and Coke in your mama's car
 You were reading The Bell Jar
 
 Where are you if you're not on your own
 Always lonely, never quite alone
 Where's the Jesus that you swore you'd find
 After running the last line?
 
 Are you living the life you chose?
 Are you living the life that chose you?
 
 Are you taking a grown up dose?
 Do you live with a man who knows you
 Like I thought I did back then?
 
 But I guess I never did
 Did I (kid?)
 ♪
 I got lucky when I finished school
 Lost three fingers to a faulty tool
 Settled out of court, I'm no one's fool
 You probably knew
 
 There's plenty left to make a getaway
 I've spent enough nights in the bluegrass state
 We could go somewhere where people stay up late
 Or just somewhere new
 Are you living the life you chose?
 Are you living the life that chose you?

 Here I am inviting you to throw your life away
 Victim of nostalgia maybe take away
 
 Just tonight I realized that I am still in your backseat
 Nothing I've had since has meant a thing to me
