The Best Laid Plans

By Frank Meyer

Verse 1

Well, the count's three and two

The burden's on you

The whole team's hoping and praying that you will come through

Here comes the ball

You swing for the wall

The last thing that you hear is that umpire's call

Chorus

No matter how hard you try

...No matter how hard you try

To reach for the sky

...To reach for the sky

Keep in mind the best laid plans, they often go awry

Just let it go

...Just let it go

Just let it flow

...Just let it flow

And let the high times carry you through the times you are low

Verse 2

Hey, the boss is impressed

You do your best

He always tells you you exceed the rest

Comes time for a raise

You hear all the praise

But you never hear one thing about an increase in pay

Chorus

Verse 3

Hey, she gives you a smile

You talk for awhile

You think that this one just might be your style

You go on a date

Things work out great

‘Til her husband's rig pulls in off that interstate

Chorus

Instrumental Break

Repeat Verse 1
