It Broke Off

                                  When I was a kid I had it made in the shade

Couple girlfriends and a Chevrolet

Oh how I long for those days

When all I needed was a couple of bucks

Just enough to put some gas in my truck

Buy a six pack of beer and get a weird haircut



Well I used to have a handle on life

But it broke off

Well I used to have it all figured out

But now I'm lost

It used to be clear to me

Now everything looks so blurry

I used to have a handle on life

But it broke off



Well I grew up so they say

Got a real job and and IRA

A mortgage on this house

I can barely pay

A blackberry and a cellphone

I spend more time at work

Then I do at home

Somebody please tell me where I went wrong



Well I used to have a handle on life

But it broke off

Well I used to have it all figured out

But now I'm lost

It used to be clear to me

Now everything looks so blurry

I used to have a handle on life

But it broke off



I know nothing stays the same

But I feel like I'm dancing

Way too close to the flame



Well I used to have a handle on life

But it broke off

Well I used to have it all figured out

But now I'm lost

It used to be clear to me

Now everything looks so blurry

I used to have a handle on life

But it broke off



Yeah I used to have a handle on life
