Don't Worry Tchotchke

Everybody wants to tell me how to live
 Everybody got that good advice that they wanna give
 Ever since I took the training wheels off my trike
 I got some people telling me how I ought to live my life
 Don't worry Tchotchke
 I can See you're stressing out
 Just be kind to everybody
 And it will all work out
 Back in 93 I graduate with degree
 I had a scholarship to go and study chemistry
 My mind was ready for the battle
 But my heart was in Seattle
 All the coolest bands I knew were coming Through
 I moved out from the fields
 To the Space Needle
 I was blown away by all the buildings and the people
 Got a job pushing road cases
 At all the local stages
 And I got to go backstage and see the shows
 I kept my act together
 Working hard till it got better
 Pretty soon I got to traveling around the states
 But it wasn't me upon the stage
 So it was never my dream inevitably Came A-day
 That it was time to try a new thing
 Don't worry Tchotchke
 I can See you're stressing out
 Just be kind to everybody
 And it will all work out
 Learned about 'lectricity while I was on the road
 So I think I would try out being an electrician
 In The world of construction there's a lot of heavy lifting
 There's a lot of digging there's a lot of joking
 I've always loved hard work rough hands in a dirty shirt
 It made me feel good when things were done
 The bossy said don't worry man and
 In 5 years you're a journeyman
 Just keep your head down and work son
 Now I can wire lights
 I can wire houses right
 I put em up on polls and I can put em in the ground
 I can wire for my friends I can wire for my kin
 And after 10 years I could wire pretty much anything
 I had enough money saved
 That I can take a girl on a date
 Not the homemade kind but the kind where you pay
 But I was drifting further from my childhood dream
 Something inside of me was slowly losing steam
 Don't worry Tchotchke
 I can See you're stressing out
 Just be kind to everybody
 And it will all work out
 Most of my life I've thought I'm been where I'm supposed to be
 Even though if the younger me looked at me now I wonder I ended up here
 I followed the opportunities while also staying true to me
 I got married one time had 2 boys 1 time
 Got divorced 1 time but now they're all mine
 I Met a girl from Utah I like the way we get along
 Hippie girl knew how to clear a bong
 She Moved up here by the water
 With her six-year-old daughter
 Maybe see if we could get along
 And now it's 10 years later
 But it's still like I just met her
 Cuz The chemistry is right we keep it strong
 A lot of men might stop there
 Stay out of the cross hairs
 Take the easy lane the rest the way
 But out in the garage i started writing new songs
 Been 20 years since i did that
 I'm back to having fun so I just kept it going on
 There you have it, now you got it, this is where it came from
 Not a teenage prodigy
 I'm just a guy who likes to sing about the crazy stuff that I find fun
