[Verse 1]

They sit you down at seventeen

"Where you're going, what you're gonna be?"

And all you want's a straight away in an old fast back

Nineteen and a new tattoo

Mom and dad say, "You gotta move"

So you hit the road and grow your hair long in the back

You're right on track

[Verse 2]

Twenty-one with a few roommates

Splitting rent so the bills get paid

With a little left for some shoebox smoke and an old six pack

Twenty-three and you're on the run

Living life like a smoking gun

And thirty's looking like I'll never live to see that

You're right on track

[Chorus]

When it's all going to hell like the train's about to crash

Running off the rails, just keep your foot down on the gas

Whеn you find the road that you don't know

Boy, just don't look back

Ain't no right turn in the rearviеw

No future in the past

And right when a little bit of love finds you right where you're at

[Verse 3]

Oh, you're a couple months off twenty-eight

Being told to act your age but you ramble on

'Cause where's the fun in that?

Thirty-one and all your friends are

Settled down with a couple kids

You say that ain't for you through half a lap

You're right on track

[Chorus]

When it's all going to hell like the train's about to crash

Running off the rails, just keep your foot down on the gas

When you find the road that you don't know

Boy, just don't look back

Ain't no right turn in the rearview

No future in the past

And right when a little bit of love finds you right where you're at

Oh, you're right on track

You're right on track

You're right on track

You're right on track

You're right on track

You're right on track

Right on track

Right on track

Right on track

[Outro]

When you're lost but you ain't lost hope

Boy, just don't look back

Ain't no right turning the rearview

Ain't no future in the past

You're right on track

You're right on track

You're right on track
