Just The Way I Planned

b][/b]

Lyrics
I bought a black Trans-Am ‘bout a year ago
Every school boy’s dream
That seemed so out of reach for me in my teens
But I just kept believin’
I would not let it go
Though lately I’ve been treated like an enemy by the
Greens
Financial independence is coming into view
I can fnally do just what I please
In winter time I’ll fnd the sun
Or get away to ski
Though I can’t do too much on these achin’ knees
Well look at my dreams all coming true
Isn’t it just grand?
How everything is working out
Just the Way I Planned.
Shannon was my heart’s desire
When I was in high school
But some other guy came and swept her off her feet
But I swore in my teenage heart
She’d be mine some day
And that from that moment our world would be complete
Well we tied the knot last summer
I’d won her wrinkled hand
Now everything is working out
Just the way I planned
As young men watching our heroes play
I’d made up my mind
That I’d meet up with mine
And we would jam as equals one fne day
Well we made it down to Oklahoma
And in that dingy bar
From his wheelchair, Leon watched us play
I’d told him “We’re 91 with a bullet,
Me and my geriatric band
And everything is working out
Just the way I planned
