five year plan.

Mom and daddy crying
Maxima flying
I-70 Eastbound
Day 1 of me trying
To make it in my twenties
Put piano in the country
Make my own name and some money in a hurry
Told everybody wasn't getting married 'til I'm thirty

Then you had to throw a wrench and a little picket fence
Into all the boxes I was checking
And goals that I was setting
Now all of a sudden I got a ring on my finger
Think being a singer just got knocked off
The top of my list
Cuz baby love don't fit in a five year plan

Right around a decade
Start to make a little headway
Champagne on the porch swing
Limousine in the driveway
'Bout to crack the glass ceiling
This small town girl's feeling pretty independent
Got a couple hits and I'm 30 seconds into my 15 minutes when

You had to throw a wrench and a little picket fence
Into all the boxes I was checking
And goals that I was setting
Now all of a sudden
I got a boy named Ford
And winning awards
Ain't anywhere near the top of my list
A couple kids don't fit in a five year plan

In a five year plan

I was so on a mission
Tunnel vision
When the plot started twisting
First kiss and if that girl only knew
How close she came from missing
You

All of a sudden
We're on a bus at a show
And somebody says somethin'
And the next thing you know
That guitar is in your hand
And this song is so much better than
My five year plan
