The Plan

I had a plan when I was young
 And it involved some havin' fun
 I need to find someone to love
 Do some things to be proud of
 I live as fast I could live
 And give it all that I could give
 Never think about the end
 And always be somebody's friend
 I watched the bow go high and low
 Steer my vessel through the flow
 Times the ocean 'neath the keel
 I will hold on to the wheel
 I lit the candle at both ends
 Let the years slip through my hands
 I did what I believed was right
 Never had to run or hide
 Friends I found and friends I lost
 Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
 I know each day could be my last
 And set the sail upon the mast
 I watched the bow go high and low
 Steer my vessel through the flow
 Times the ocean 'neath the keel
 I will hold on to the wheel
 Was quite successful with my plan
 As I would do it all again
 Things I needed came to me
 I really went out on a spree
 Do I need a plan for growin' old
 Young and restless years concluded
 Never thought I'd get this far
 My thoughts are getting all excluded
 I watched the bow go high and low
 Steer my vessel through the flow
 Times the ocean 'neath the keel
 I will hold on to the wheel
 I watched the bow go high and low
 Steer my vessel through the flow
 Times the ocean 'neath the keel
 I will hold on to the wheel
 Times the ocean neath the keel
 I will hold on to the wheel
