Lyrics

I wasn’t one of those kids
That didn’t have a clue
I was pretty good in school
Before I got on with the crew
Boss couldn’t look me in the eye when he broke the news
What do you do when the goal posts move?

I paid tuition for my girl
Down at Bama state
She said he ripped off her pearls
Before he had his way
A year ago she’d have the right to choose
What do you do when the goal posts move?

What do you do when the goal posts move?
Leaves you flat footed in some hand me down shoes
What do you do when the goal posts move?
Leaves an honest man to wonder if the truth’s still true

We moved to the suburbs 10 years ago
Thought it was safer, but now I don’t know
The cops shot my neighbor with 35 rounds
I’m just about to tear these goal posts down

Do you fly off the handle in a blinding rage?
Do you bury your head and pretend we’re the same?
Do you hug your kids and apologize?
Smile at strangers but avoid their eyes?
