Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

 I owe thirty-five dollars to the library

 At Humboldt State University

 But I dropped out fifteen years ago

 And I never paid it and I'm still not gonna.

 I never got my report card

 And I didn't go to class and I didn't work hard

 So I didn't wanna know how bad I did

 But I know I never made the dean's list.

Chorus

 And college is a waste of time

 If you wanna be a baker or a candlestick maker

You still have to wait in line

 At the bank drive through and the train tracks too

 Behind people like me with no degree

 'Cause I know the conductor and he knows me

 You might have a nicer car, but I've traveled pretty far

 And all I have is an old guitar

Bridge

Verse

Forty bucks for a bag of weed

 In the summer nineteen ninety three

Forty dollars is all I have

 And it isn't mine, it belongs to my parents.

 Oh, five hundred points for a roll of cookie dough

 In the cafeteria they've got sloppy joes

 And the sloppy joes cost three points

 I won't eat in the spring but hey, cookie dough.

Chorus

 And college is a waste of time

 If you wanna be a diver or a big rig driver.

You still have to go to the store

 And share the road with a wide load

 Who's taking up all three lanes

 And you can't get around him it's a big pain

 And the driver hasn't slept in three whole days

 But he knows one thing and that's freeways.

 He's got a Gatorade bottle where he goes pee

 And you're behind him with your college degree.

Final verse:

 I owe thirty-five dollars to the library

 At Humboldt State University

 But I dropped out fifteen years ago

 And I never paid it and I'm still not gonna.
