This Time

Waved goodbye to all your friends When you made it big Got a big ol’ desk and a door With your name engraved on it You’re never satisfied Unless you’re chomping at the bit You got the keys to a penthouse suite With an ice cold bed in it When you’re least expecting it Maybe somewhere down the line Life will catch up to you sometime Got a gold wrist watch And stocks in bio-fuel Yeah you’re making it rain But the floods gonna soak ya through That dry champagne Can leave a bitter taste When you’re back in your college digs Eating macaroni off a paper plate When you’re least expecting it Maybe somewhere down the line Life will catch up to you sometime When it’s all plain sailing When your feet don’t touch the ground That’s when your life comes back around So careful when you climb the ladder ‘Cos you don’t know how high it goes It’s lonely at the top or so the saying goes Lost your trust fund And that trophy wife Her smile never hid the fact She wanted much more out of life And everyone that you chewed up To feed your appetite Oh, safe to say you’re a castaway In your lonely paradise I bet you weren’t expecting it Buddy, now it’s the end of the line Life has caught up to you this time Life has caught up to you this time Life has caught up to you this time Life has caught up to you this time Life has caught up to you this time Life has caught up to you this time
