Topic: And So It Goes
Actually, my wife gave me the idea about this song. She just transfered to another job where she works and that reminded be of when she just finished school, was looking for a job and finally started working. That is where this idea started anyway and I expanded on it to round out the life cycle at least how I was viewing it as I wrote the song. I hope you like it.
