Steve Lungrin - This Isn't Where I Thought I'd Be Lyrics

I was a damn fool kid, ambitious, cocky, and so sure
I thought I'd get everything, climb the mountain, and own the world
But welcome to reality
I'm not the big shot that I always said I'd be

This isn't where I thought I'd be
Things have worked out differently
I had some well laid plans years ago
I don't have many choices now
But keep on keepin' on somehow
But this ain't how I thought it all would go
I hope I catch a break eventually
Cuz this isn't where I thought I'd be

I told everyone I knew, I'm gonna be something else, you'll see
I'll be above the crowd, and they'll all wish that they were me
But they all knew the real truth
I'm just another guy who shot my mouth off in my youth

This isn't where I thought I'd be
Things have worked out differently
I had some well laid plans years ago
I don't have many choices now
But keep on keepin' on somehow
But this ain't how I thought it all would go
I hope I catch a break eventually
Cuz this isn't where I thought I'd be

No matter how I work and try
I only barely just get by
I feel like such a failure I could cry
My life is on a downward slide
I'm treading water at high tide
It's hard on someone who had so much pride

This isn't where I thought I'd be
Things have worked out differently
I had some well laid plans years ago
I don't have many choices now
But keep on keepin' on somehow
But this ain't how I thought it all would go
I hope I catch a break eventually
Cuz this isn't where I thought I'd be
