next year

my brother and me

used to climb this tree

we were gonna build a little club house

bout 10 feet off the ground

we drew the whole thing up

we needed wood and our daddies truck

but he was out on work that summer

the truck only had one wheel

said well do it next year

my buddies and me

we had this dream

we were gonna rent this cabin

way up in montana

we were gonna fish

we had the date all picked

my old man got sick

and the plan kinda dissapeared

but well do it next year

another day down

another week gone

always just talkin about tomorrow

you can't beg

steal or borrow

or make time

so you make plans

hope for the best

life goes on

so damn fast

another 12 months flies on by you're still here

but its never quite next year

my little boy and me

we were out to eat

he said i can't wait till next year

and when i asked him why he said

cause were goin campin

were goin to a ball game

well do all them other things you said we'd do next year

so when is next year?

another day down

another week gone

always just talkin about tomorrow

you can't beg steal or borrow

or make time

so you make plans

hope for the best

life goes by

so damn fast

another 12 months flies on by you're still here

but its never quite next year

no it's never quite next year

my old man

he said i think id like to go see that grand canyon

so we just left

packed up the car and went

i called in sick to work

we drove till 3 am

another day down

another week gone

always just talkin about tomorrow

you can't beg steal or borrow

or make time

so you make plans

hope for the best

life goes by

so damn fast

another 12 months flies on by you're still here

but its never quite next year

its never quite next year
