When I was just a baby
My eyes could not yet focus
Mama shook her head
Mumbled hocus pocus
Well it didn't take
Cause when I was a child
My teachers all complained
I was young and I was wild
Concentration
Concentration
You'd better pay attention
Or you'll miss your destination
Well my teenage years were a train wreck
I grew acquainted with detention
Said I needed discipline
A focus of intention
Well women, booze and cars
Lured me with salvation
If I'd only stuck with one
But three were my damnation
Concentration
Concentration
You'd better pay attention
Or you'll miss your destination
Well the years they passed me by
Along with my promotions
I don't do nothing much now
With all of my devotion
Of course I buy those lotto tickets
They're my retirement plan
And if that don't quite workout like I hope
I'll be living off the land
