lyrics

There was this young girl that I loved for so long
She drove me to drink and I knew I'd never get her
Now all that I've got is this silly old song
I'll probably drink and sing it forever

There was this young boy who just didn't belong
He said I'll figure this out and make myself better
Now all that I need are some songs of my own
I'll write them and sing them and scream them forever

Why can't we fix this and just get along
She said, I'm moving directions
You know that I won't let her
Please clean your conscience and let me write these wrongs
I'll probably drink and sing it forever
I'll write them and sing them and scream them forever
