They sit you down at 17
Where you going, what you gonna be
And all you want's a straight away and an old fastback
19 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
21 with a few roommates
Splitting rent so the bills get paid
With a little left for some shoebox smoke
And an old six pack
23 and you're on the run
Living life like a smoking gun In 30s
looking like I'll never live to see
that
You're right on track
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 a 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 a couple months off 28 Being told to act your age
But you ramble on cause where's the fun in that?
31 and all your friends are Settled down with a couple kids
You say that ain't for you, threw half a lap
And you're right on track
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 a 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
Right on track
Red on the train,
red on the train,
red on the train
We lost but ain't lost hope
Oh,
just don't look back Ain't no right turn in the rear view
Ain't no future in the past
You're right on the train
You're right on the train
You're right on the train
