And he thinks it's kind of normal that she hides
I finally know the difference
Made amazing friends if I say so myself
Everybody says you'll grow a lot from this experience
Then come on god, please give me thirty eight more
With whoever I wanted until I got caught
Got handed the dream by the age of eighteen
Between going back and going home
I lost my virginity to a girl in my band
Blessings get disguised sometimes but all I know
Is I finally know the difference
She tells her son she did the best she could as she buries dad
Fondue parties, my mom and my dads
So addicted to sex every chance that I got
Every time I come back in this town I know
Went back to the van the very next day
She was four years older, she made me a man
If living like this at thirty eight is a bore
As he swims in the above ground pool, she seals up the lid
Middle class suburbs, every thing's fine
Did the morning show bullshit and went to China too
Everybody knows I've seen a lot, yeah, I'm experienced
Between going back and going home
And this red bandanna is surely going to fade
Where they left us to die without a ticket to flee
Makes you feel so old after a while just like our president
Maybe become Zen, after a while become a president
Living hand to mouth for the next five years
They'll finally know the difference
Up the cuts and all the bruises, she says it's warpaint for the eyes
Maybe he'll grow up to be a man unlike his father did
Cut to a life being born in sixty nine
Packed it up, started over just as fast as we can
Saw more than most people that I know had ever seen
Built it up, made a living without any help
There's a lady on my block that has a kid
Selling tapes, making merch in the back of a van
A one hit wonder I think described it best
As I leave the driveway for the northern snow
Took up drinking wine, gave up drinking beer
Between going back and going home, yeah
Even though it's the only thing the fire didn't take
Inciting a riot, we were only twenty three
Drinks being drunk and fights being had
Decided to burn out than to fade away
To a town made of glitter girls and cocaine friends
So I took my penicillin and I took my band
Played every bar, drank till black and blue
Signed another big deal with A Devil In A Dress
