about

Featuring Brad Meinerding on electric slide guitar

lyrics

Don’t go to college
Go live in the woods
keep in touch with your grandma
let her know you’re doing good
learn how to take care of yourself
before you go out trying to make a buck in this world
where your dollar’s worth a dime

Get on up to the mountains
Go the highest you’ve been
Look down at the world below
look up to the sky
see the freedom, see it before you
and when you come back down
take some with you before you go

Get on out to the ocean
when the water’s cold
take all your clothes off
when you get to the shore
dive right in and swim on out, roll on with the waves
let it cool your restless ways

And when i reach the heaven and meet the one
I hope to thank her for all she’s done
but if she won’t throw me a bone
help me pay off my student
I don’t mind
I’ll just roll up a bone of my own

Don’t go to college
Go live in the woods
keep in touch with your grandma
let her know you’re doing good
learn how to take care of yourself
before you go out trying to make a buck in this world
where your dollar’s worth a dime
