Prompt / Lyrics
(chorus) I plan my week down to each day, Then something always blocks the way. I tap my boots, don’t miss the beat, Just roll along, stay on my feet. I waited half the day in line, To get my license photo fine. The flash went off, I closed my eyes. The camera caught my big surprise! I showed up early to the doc, The calendar was not what I thought. They said, “You’re early… one whole day!” I smiled and said, “Have a great day!” I plan my week down to each day, Then something always blocks the way. I tap my boots, don’t miss the beat, Just roll along, stay on my feet. I bought new skates, I drove real far, To show my skills — a future star! Two left-footed skates, were sold to me, I’ll try again — just wait, you’ll see! Back to the store, the fit was right, Returned once more, my hopes in sight, But when I got there, gates were wide — With “CLOSED TODAY” stuck on the side! I plan my week down to each day, Then something always blocks the way. I tap my boots, don’t miss the beat, Just roll along, stay on my feet. Groceries filled my shopping cart, Helping out by doing my part. Forgot my wallet once again I left there laughing at my pain! My favorite show, I rushed to see, I got my snacks and felt carefree. I pressed the button for it to play Forgot to record, well, that’s okay! I plan my week down to each day, Then something always blocks the way. I tap my boots, don’t miss the beat, Just roll along, stay on my feet. Returned to grab my laundry load, But someone swiped it down the road. I laughed instead of feeling blue, Now shopping sounds like fun to do. I called to get a pizza hot, They said it's comin on the dot. Three hours passed, the wait was long, Wrong pizza came, but I stayed strong. I plan my week down to each day, Then something always blocks the way. I tap my boots, don’t miss the beat, Just roll along, stay on my feet. (Bridge) When plans you’ve made don’t go just right, Don’t let the setback steal your light. The world keeps turning, calm and wide, New hopes will rise with morning’s tide. I plan my week down to each day, Then something always blocks the way. I tap my boots, don’t miss the beat, Just roll along, stay on my feet. I plan my week down to each day, Then something always blocks the way. I tap my boots, don’t miss the beat, Just roll along, stay on my feet. I tap my boots, don’t miss the beat, Just roll along, stay on my feet.
