By the time the buzz was wearing off
|
we were standing out on the sidewalk
|
with our tattoos that looked like rings
|
in the hot Nevada sun
|
|
Kids piled high, our moms and dads shook hands
|
in a party of Polaroid friends
|
rented a pool and hired a band
|
Maybe they knew more then we knew
|
cause they danced and drank
|
while we jumped off the deep end
|
|
Oh I've got you to thank
|
for this
|
|
Christmas came around
|
yeah and everything was going to crap
|
and our moms and dads not a clue to be had
|
Yeah we put on a pretty good act
|
and they seemed to all need to believe it
|
so we danced and smiled and paddled hard beneath it
|
|
Oh I've got you to thank
|
for this
|
|
You can't say you've never had a doubt
|
and smoked it down but really wanted out
|
|
By the time the buzz was wearing off
|
we were standing out on the sidewalk
|
with our tattoos that looked like rings
|
in the hot Nevada sun
|
and they won't fade
|
|
I've got you to thank
|

You To Thank
