What Have I Done?

A year now and nothing much has changed Holed up in a motel in El Paso This was meant to be my great escape But, I got lost along the way Amongst free HBO and take-out Going to write my Moby Dick More like scratching lyrics on paper plates I spent the best years of my life Waiting on the best years of my life So what's there to write about? What have I done? What have I done? So is this my destiny? From starlight into eternity The gods must be laughing down at me Ha, ha, ha Ha, ha, ha A traveling salesmen at twenty years old Stranded in Ann Arbor with a flat tire And I watch the sun sadly set Any younger, I may have wept Much older, I wouldn't've notice But I was out there in the world Yeah, then the world, it passed me by I was telling everyone back home That I was taking it by storm Instead, I watched it from the roadside What have I done? What have I done? So are these the best tales I can spin? A boy waiting to begin A man of no memoirs What have I done? What have I done? You're young and you're going to be someone Then you're old and you're ashamed of what you've become Well, take a look around you You're preaching to the choir Oh, oh, oh? What have I done?? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done??? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done?
