Lyrics

Off The Rails

(Written and performed by Nicky Nieling)

When everything else fails, life's off the rails.
A new plan is in need, wish plan B was guaranteed.
Times are rough, times are tough,
often not good enough.
Push on with that plan,
and try to make a stand.

There's good times, that have been.
Those good times will come again.
No worries no doubts, just a matter of when,
those good times, will come again.

I'm in a bind, life is a grind,
but I gotta do what I like.
But I'm working all day, and sleeping all night,
up before the sunlight, it's not right, it's not right.

Feels like I'm off to school,
following so many rules.
It seems like such a waste of time,
still pinching them nickels and dimes,
It's not right.

I'm working this job for a safety net,
paying the bills and the rent.
I need a new pair of glasses, money's all spent,
sure could use another paycheck.

I'd walk out right now if I could,
but I gotta buy a new hood.
This safety net, well it's paying the rent,
but I need another paycheck.

When everything else fails, life's off the rails.
A new plan is in need, plan B isn't guaranteed.
Times are rough, and times are tough,
often not good enough.
Push on through with a master plan,
and try to make a stand.

Those good times, will come again,
just a matter of when.
No worries no doubts just a matter of when,
I know they're gonna come again, come again.
