A Place In The Line

I had a woman
She had a child
It lasted one summer
Till this young heart ran wild
It seems there is nothing
In this world that binds
When you're trying to find
Your place in the line

I can remember
Back in high school days
Living for freedom
And not for the A's

So I sat in the poolhall
On graduation day
Hoping someday I'd find
My place in the line

Ooh, a place in the line
Ooh, a place in the line

I wouldn't worry
Mama would say
Your kind of troubles, son
They just go with the age
And those words of wisdom
Still ring in my ears
As I struggle to find
My place in the line
'Cause I'm still trying to find
My place in the line

Ooh, a place in the line
Someday I'll find
Ooh, a place in the line
Ooh, a place in the line
