When I was a kid I had it made in the shade Couple girlfriends and a Chevrolet Oh how I long for those days When all I needed was a couple of bucks Just enough to put some gas in my truck Buy a six pack of beer and get a weird haircut Well I used to have a handle on life But it broke off Well I used to have it all figured out But now I'm lost It used to be clear to me Now everything looks so blurry I used to have a handle on life But it broke off Well I grew up so they say Got a real job and and IRA A mortgage on this house I can barely pay A blackberry and a cellphone I spend more time at work Then I do at home Somebody please tell me where I went wrong Well I used to have a handle on life But it broke off Well I used to have it all figured out But now I'm lost It used to be clear to me Now everything looks so blurry I used to have a handle on life But it broke off I know nothing stays the same But I feel like I'm dancing Way too close to the flame Well I used to have a handle on life But it broke off Well I used to have it all figured out But now I'm lost It used to be clear to me Now everything looks so blurry I used to have a handle on life But it broke off Yeah I used to have a handle on life But it broke off
