Story Behind the Song
This high-energy song was designed to challenge families who try to make their kids successes in every walk of life except the spiritual. Too many times we watch a kid grow up accommodating the same vices, the same habits and the same lack of virtue of the previous generation, and it is a difficult task to remind families that no matter how equipped they feel they have made their teen, there is one thing that most families forgot to do. They forgot to give their kids the critical framework for living lives of wisdom and grace.
It reminds me of the times I have locked my keys in the car and left the headlights on. Sure, I remembered to lock the doors. I remember to do so much, but one of the main things I forgot to do. This shows up not only in our conversations, but in the priorities that we show.
Lyrics
["Sammy, hurry up, we're gonna be
late to that National Honor Society
luncheon. Watch out! Quit looking at
that girl and keep your eyes on the
road. How did you get your license
anyhow? Did you come to a complete
stop at that stop sign? I didn't think so.
Look at the time, Sammy, c'mon now,
hurry..."]
Sammy is brilliant. Sammy is a CPA.
Sammy is remembered at a Friday
Night party as the only one
With something smart to say.
Sammy's gonna tell you
That to make it through life.
Gotta sweat for the grades
Buy a home and buy a wife.
Chorus:
Attention those of you who are
On planet Earth with ears open.
Those of you who are still tuned
In for news.
Gotta learn from these
Surface successes who on
Judgement day are bound to lose.
They remembered to lock their doors.
They remembered to lock their doors.
They remembered to lock their doors.
But they left their headlights on
Yeah, they left their headlights on...
Maggie is beautiful.
Maggie turns a thousand heads.
["Ow, I hate it when she does that!"]
Maggie is charming she makes women
All around her look cold and dead.
Maggie's gonna tell you
That she always gets her man.
But to keep your choices
Open for a better plan.
Chorus
