This song goes out to my good friends,
|
Especially the ones I had before the Grammy nominations in 2003
|
And all the girls from back in high school,
|
Who actually spoke to me,
|
Even though I was a fat kid and a marching band geek.
|
|
I hope this song finds you well.
|
And I hope that you're doin?fuckin?swell.
|
I hope that you’re back up if you've ever been down.
|
And I hope that you got the fuck out of our hometown.
|
|
Here comes a shout out to the professor,
|
Who said "Son pick a path and stay the same, cause charisma is the key to opportunity"
|
And to all the clubs that let us play.
|
To our family and friends and the music stores,
|
For giving us gear when we couldn't pay.
|
|
I hope this song finds you well.
|
And I hope that you're doin?fuckin?swell.
|
I hope that you're back up if you've ever been down.
|
And I hope you got the fuck out of our hometown.
|
|
You know I can't count how many times I’ve heard people say (heard people say)
|
“Be proud of where you're from, you're gonna put us on the map?
But where the hell were you back in the day, (back in the day)
|
No one came to see us,
|
So we got the hell out of there.
|
So there you have it.
|
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
|
|
This song goes out to my big brother.
|
For putting up with me following you around.
|
And making me smile when things at home weren't great
|
And not getting pissed when I humped your girlfriend
|
For letting me take your car to the prom.
|
For beating up the guys that hung my bike in a tree
|
For hand-me-down down albums and guitars with no strings
|
For never beating the shit outta me
|
|
I hope this song finds you well.
|
And I hope that you're doin fuckin swell.
|
I hope that you're back up cause I know you've been down.
|
I just wish you'd get the fuck out of our hometown.
|
I hope you get the fuck out of our hometown.
|
I'm so glad I got the fuck out of our hometown.
|
|
You know what I’m talking about don’t ya?
|
Damn it!
