Square
© Mitch Townley/Scott Miller


She was high on Roll Tide, chasing her degree
Pledging Pi Beta Phi had a 4.0
Then dad lost his job, so she took some time off
Cause the family needed her back home
Even the best laid plans
Can go a little off road


Life ain’t always two steps forward
Every now and then you get stuck in corners
Never dreamed you’d ever need a plan C
You’re hittin’ green lights ‘n makin time
Then a headwind stops you on a dime
Hard as you try, you can’t get anywhere
Sometimes the world turns like a square


Might get beat up bad, blown way off track
Like you're spinnin’ through Kansas in Dorothy’s house
Feelin’ porch dog tired of seein’ detours signs
Need a yellow brick back road out
You learn a lot about yourself
on the long way ‘round

Repeat Chorus


(Bridge)
Might have to take more lefts than you thought
Every dream ain’t a straight shot

Repeat Chorus

Life ain’t always two steps forward
Every now and then you get stuck in corners
Never dreamed you’d ever need a plan C
You’re hittin’ green lights ‘n makin time
Then a headwind stops you on a dime
Hard as you try, you can’t get anywhere
Keep the faith and just hang in there
Sometimes the world turns like a square
