2002

The year is two thousand & two I'm doing exactly what I wanted to And baby I don't even think about you anymore Just thought I'd drop you a line To let you know I was feeling fine Cause honey it's been a long long time Since you walked out my door It took me some time I must confess For a while there I was feeling less than my best I had to get out of town so I headed out west I ended up in Seattle I thought I'd start a brand new band I thought I might call it Lonelyland Things got a little out of hand I ended up hooked on heroin So I ended up moving back over to Germany Living with the folks baggin grocery's But the time I had was mostly free So I spent most of it drinking I got myself in a jam or two I guess it's what I had to do Late at night I'd still think of you And it felt like I was drowning Till I met this girl at a discotheque She was a dancer but not what you'd expect She taught ballet and she was half-Czech half Chinese But after she decided not to have the baby She said she was gonna move back to Czechoslovakia maybe By then I didn't really care I was either half drunk or half crazy I got arrested once but never convicted My parents eventually had me evicted I tried your number but it'd been disconnected I guess I should've known I heard you got married and you moved away I called your folks but where they wouldn't say They said it's probably better that way so I just let it be I moved back to Austin bout a year ago I drive a schoolbus I don't drink no more I go out every once in a while and see a show but mostly I just watch TV So I don't know where I'm gonna send this letter I doubt things are ever going to get much better It seems like life is just one big whatever anyway I just thought I'd drop you a line Lie and say I was doing fine Cause baby it's been a long long time Since you walked out my door
