bob schneider - 2002 lyrics
the year is 2002
i’m doing exactly what i wanted to
baby i don’t even think about you anymore
just thought i’d drop you a line
to let you know i was doing fine
’cause baby 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
had get out of town so i headed out west
ended up in seattle
i thought i’d start a brand new band
thought i might call it lonelyland
things got a little out of hand
ended up hooked on heroin
so ended up moving back over to germany
living with the folks baggin’ grocery
the time i had was mostly free
i spent most of it drinking
i got myself in a jam or two
guess it’s what i had to do
late at night i’d still thinkin’ you
felt like i was drowning
i met this girl at a discotheque
she is a dancer, baby, 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
said she might move back to the mainland maybe
but then i didn’t really care
i was half drunk, half crazy
got arrested, but never convicted
parents eventually had me evicted
tried your number, it been disconnected
guess i should’ve known
heard you got married and you moved away
called your folks but where they wouldn’t say
said it’s probably better that way
so i just let it be
moved back to austin ’bout a year ago
drive a school bus i don’t drink no more
go out every once in a while and see 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
seems like life’s one big whatever
anyway
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
