the first time i saw you
|
you worked selling hot dogs and stealing your mom's vcr
|
you sold your nintendo for a shitty drum set
|
that you sold for a shittier car
|
i remember you hitting your girlfriend
|
once or twice when she got in your face
|
you come sell us weed or you'd just watch tv
|
and she'd sit in your chevy and wait
|
|
the first time i saw you
|
you worked at the lakeview with that guy with those bad tattoos
|
someone had broken your heart
|
and you worked it out fucking the regular
|
your smile was amazing, your apartment was tiny
|
your arms and your back were all bruised
|
sometimes you wore glasses
|
that you didn't like over eyes that were sparkly blue
|
|
howdy stranger, how ya been?
|
a million distant memories of a million distant friends
|
|
the last time i saw you
|
we split a pitcher or two at some hillbilly bar
|
your heart was all shattered
|
your hair was all greasy and long and your hands were all hard
|
i remember saying to dump your girlfriend
|
she was making both of us sick
|
it's not a lot, but it's what i got
|
it's harder and harder to stick to the script
|
|
it's harder these days
|
it's harder to stay
|
