Remember when we were young? We'd smoke cigarettes behind the store Pimpin' beers for fun Back then I loved you Makin' you almost cry Under Louisiana
God doesn't like it when you hold out on me God doesn't like it when you can't be free God doesn't like it when you keep control God doesn't like it
History's been decided by the bullies and the freaks Who tried to move the mountains and drain all the creeks Wiping out the things that just didn't fit
Peel away the morning sky Place it in a jar I'll collect it when I die Sliding from a star And down though the clouds Strip away the mystery Lash out
Fifty thousand watts from the back of my Impala Wolf man Jack is on the line tonight Everybody's hungry for someone or something And everything I care
I've gathered myself From bits and remains And the pieces I've pulled From all of my days And I'm handing them off Not to me or to you But the world
Faded dreams and buried schemes They never worried me Promises lost and secrets tossed They have no remedy Yeah, you can lay your head Down in the ground
Lord, she says I'm tired Of living life this way Hiding what I'm feeling Keeping you at bay Love me anyway Look upon my secrets The things that I can

Annie and me, as far as we can see We're not taking any bets, just playing the house Slashing the tires on the restrictive ride That keeps us in the lane
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4 Charmed, I'm sure it's a strange allure Our intentions aren't exactly pure I'm the bait, you're the lure Let me cast my line Some things
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere In a distant land so far across the sea It's waving for the ones who fought and died there And for those
You've got a problem cause you now have my old used-to-be And she's hurt you the same old way that she hurt me But there's one consolation for your misery
The sun goes down and leaves me sad and blue The iron curtain falls on this cold war with you Trough you won't speak and I won't speak it's true We're
Not long ago I opened up my heart and you walked in Then suddenly I saw my happy day slip away The talk that's going round has finally found it's way
Now gather around me blues I'd like to make a toast Let's all extend three cheers To a guy that's lost the most I don't want your pity Or your sympathy
You took her off my hands when you've stepped in You changed everything we're not even friends Now don't leave the job half done leave nothing behind
Today I started loving you again And I'm right back where I've really always been I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend Then today
