Lyrics:
well i thought about the army
             dad said, son you're fucking high
             and i thought, yeah there's a first for everything
             so i took my old man's advice
             three sad semesters
             it was only fifteen grand spent in bed
             i thought about the army
             i dropped out and joined a band instead

             grew a moustache and a mullet
             got a job at chic-fil-a
             citing artistic differences
             the band broke up in may
             and in june reformed without me
             and they'd got a different name
             i nuked another grandma's apple pie
             and hung my head in shame

             i've been thinking a lot today
             i've been thinking a lot today

             oh, i think i'll write a screenplay
             oh, i think i'll take it to LA
             oh, i think i'll get it done yesterday

             in this time of introspection
             on the eve of my election
             i say to my reflection
             god, please spare me more rejection
             'cause my peers, they criticize me
             and my ex-wives all despise me
             try to put it all behind me
             but my redneck past is nipping at my heels

             i've been thinking a lot today
             i've been thinking a lot today
             i've been thinking a lot today
             i thought about the army...
