Higher Education - Brent Anderson

We didn't go to class that whole first week

We were busy makin' bunk beds and fake IDs

I was happy with a 2 3 my freshman year

My dad paid the balance on my Exxon card

So every time I stopped to fill up my car

I'd get five burritos and two cases of beer

We were playin' Alabama

And everyone was makin' the trip

Well I was supposed to work that weekend

Said "I just quit "

I don't know why

It's called higher education

It's more like a paid vacation

At least it was for me

Cause I was blowin' through my family savings

But lookin' back now it's amazin'

Cause all we did was see how

Little we could study

And how much we could drink

You could lead a boy to college

But you can't make him think

I never will forget that one spring break

When we didn't have money or a place to stay

But drove down anyway to Daytona Beach

We met a couple girls as soon as we got there

They were both ugly but we didn't care cause

It beat the hell out of sleepin' in my buddy's Jeep

The hotel wasn't very nice but it worked out great

Cause it was right next door to an Exxon station

And that's where we ate

I don't know why

It's called higher education

It's more like a paid vacation

At least it was for me

Cause I was blowin' through my family savings

But lookin' back now it's amazin'

Cause all we did was see how

Little we could study

And how much we could drink

You could lead a boy to college

But you can't make him think

When I look back on those days I just laugh

I'd say it was the best four years of my life

But it was five and a half

It's called higher education

It's more like a paid vacation

At least it was for me

Cause I was blowin' through my family savings

But lookin' back now it's amazin'

Cause all we did was see how

Little we could study

And how much we could drink

You can lead a boy to college

But you can't make him think
