Tracks for Future Practice

Back in school
I was so foolish
Sitting still
As a statue
When I should've been moving
Faster and faster

My memories
My history
All the hours alone
The solitude of practice

My memories
My regrets
No time for wasted talk
No time to steal a kiss

Hey mom
Hey dad
I'm gonna be famous
Just like Amos
And Shirley Temple too

It's gonna pay off
Some time soon
All the effort I've put in
All my artistry

I'm gonna take off
To the moon
I'll show you all
Then you'll see

The worth of sacrifice
And all those times I said goodbye
And all those tracks for future practice
I set aside for other days that never came

Hey mom
Hey dad
I'm gonna be famous
Just like Amos
And Shirley Temple too

Hey mom
Hey dad
It's me up there
In the air
I'll see you both real soon
