I kind of suffered from a creative drought for a while there but this song just kind of came to my head yesterday. Pretty simple, and a lot more lighthearted than usual, but hopefully it's musically and lyrically engaging enough to hold an audience's attention. Please let me know! All comments/criticisms are appreciated. Thanks.

Lyrics:
Will I work real hard only to grovel?
Will I try to write the Great American Novel?
Will I stay in school then quit in a panic?
Will I buy a garage, become a car mechanic?
Who knows how it goes
But I'm starting to doubt that I can figure it out
"That's life," I sigh
I only hope it's not like jumping rope
Will I join the corps fight in 70 wars
Be elected president and start 70 more
Will I be a shrink charge 90 an hour
Be a physicist discover oxygen power
I try to decide
But I get nowhere fast I keep living in the past
No clue, it's true
So if you got a hint I'm begging you for it

Cause I ain't got the time I need to figure out the life I'll lead
I ain't got the time I need to figure out the life I'll lead
I ain't got the time I need to figure out the life I'll lead
I ain't got the time I need to figure out the life I'm leading now
Hope I get it straight before they're telling me
Way to go, you're finally caught in the middle of it all
Way to go, you finally know how it feels to be alone
Where to go? Heaven knows which way the wind'll blow
Only heaven knows which way the river flows

Will I buy a bar and drink all the liquor
Will I buy another and only gets sicker
Will I move west keep playing the guitar
Will I buy 20 houses smoke Cuban cigars
We'll see how it'll be
But if you don't reach for something then you'll wind up with nothing
Might be just a dream
But a life of reality has only been killing me
Will I keep on dreaming and hope for the best
Will I give it all up and and just settle for the rest
And I can't understand
I've got the world at my feet but I'm stuck in my seat
But I won't sit and mope
Gotta get out of bed keep moving right on ahead

Cause I ain't got the time I need to figure out the life I'll lead
I ain't got the time I need to figure out the life I'll lead
I ain't got the time I need to figure out the life I'll lead
I ain't got the time I need to figure out the life I'm leading now
Hope I get it straight before they're telling me
Way to go, you're finally caught in the middle of it all
Way to go, you finally know how it feels to be alone
Where to go? Heaven knows which way the wind'll blow
Only heaven knows which way the river flows

If you never make a album I may just have to kill you for wasting the talent

Great lyrics and probably one of your best

Très cool . I admire anyone that writes original songs. I write and wrote all the songs for our soon to be released second CD 'The Cold Backhand of Love' .

Great!! I like it, got a Simon and Garfunkle feel to it, you have a talent there, keep at it, things will happen if you put yourself around.
Have you pushed your songs to A&R departments of record companies?
All the best mate and thanks for sharing that with us.
Cheers.
