We started off without you
a couple months before
you were with us for about a week
and you wanted to go on tour
we weren't ready for that ride
we weren't ready for a gig
we were something small
you tried so hard to make us big
I admit we sounded better after you came in
but we had to get rid of your busted amps and brokens strings
You helped us find a form a sound
one that we all liked
we couldn't have done it without you
then you wanted to change our style
we used to get along as friends and musically
but we had to ditch you
it wasn't working out for you or me
I admit we sounded better after you came in
but we had to get rid of your busted amps and brokens strings
Now that you're gone we're playing decent shows and songs
which ditched you for the show the one you made possible
we sound so much better since you've been gone
so i just want to say thanks and so long

Nothin' to to at 1am
decided to go mini golfin
we were met by a girl low and behold
she was stranded and she was broke
Hornswaggled!
since we are just stupid guys
we decided to be nice
she knew Nick's sister
things were funny
then we gave her all our money!
Hornswaggled!
50 bucks later she was one her way
then she told us she wasnt gay
So we went to play a couple holes
Started doubting that money was for gas and tolls
Hornswaggled!
Then we went to check her car
two different liscense plates - how bizzare
we walked around in search of her
found out nothing except we were...

Jenny I feel bad for you
you're living on the streets
selling your body,
looking through the trash for something to eat
I don't want to see you this way
you could have been so much more
than a teenage runaway a junkie or a fuckin whore
Mommy was a religious freak
so you left your home in Mississippi
wild teen runs off to new orleans
7 years later you're looking back
you're missing your life
wanna get back on track
facing the nightmares you thought were dreams
Jenny I feel bad for you
you're living on the streets
selling your body,
looking through the trash for something to eat
I really hate to see you this way
you could have been so much more
than a teenage runaway a junkie or a fuckin whore

Remember just the two of us
hanging out at Orange Julius
sharing that special citrus drink
times like that have come and gone
but now we have to move along
and times like that will never come again
Remember the julius for the rest of you life
remember the julius for through all your days and nights
remember the julius and everythings alright
I'll never forget the great times we had
when did the great times turn so bad
what came between us and made us fall apart
i told you i was sorry i killed your mom and dad
i had brain freeze,
just remember all the good times
the good times that we had
Remember the julius for the rest of you life
remember the julius for through all your days and nights
remember the julius and everythings alright
Remember just the three of us
me and you and Orange Julius
orange frosty and oh so smooth
i knew it was time for me to make my move
times like that they came and they went
now that i know i won't see you again
now that i know i won't see you again
Remember the julius for the rest of you life
remember the julius for through all your days and nights
remember the julius and everythings alright

Railroad Love

A man and a woman meet on a train
they hit it off right away
she was kinda drunk and kinda high
thought she found the perfect guy
she's tells him her life story
he made is move in all his glory
her kisses her and she asks "why?"
he says "why not let's give it another try"
whoaaaa railroad love
ohhhhh railroad love
Well she passed the first test of his
but there was more than just one kiss
he asks if he can walk her home
or he would be all alone
she says "why not if you want to
we'll walk home and smoke a doob"
"what's your age" "27" she said "i'm older by about 11 years"
whoaaaa railroad love
ohhhhh railroad love
Her stop is the next on the route
she asks "do you still wanna hang out?"
he says "well i don't care"
and you could see it wasn't there
whoaaaa railroad love
ohhhhh railroad love

Shattered Window

I'd hate to say goodbye right now
and see you walk away
it'll get harder to say goodbye
the longer that we wait
i guess we missed our window
i guess it is too late
but you don't notice that window
till it's shattered in your face
The window broken in our faces
isn't made of glass
it's the shards of truth, dishonesty
and the reallity we couldn't grasp
Our faces covered in tears and blood
the scars may never heal
in comes the silence
and you know how that makes me feel
It's so hard to go on without you
these past couple days
all i've got to remember is
half eaten chocolate, the smell of glaze
you promised i'd never lose you
no matter what happened
said you had to break it
and just stay away.
STAY AWAY
The window broken in our faces
isn't made of glass
it's the shards of truth and dishonesty
a refelction of the past
Our faces covered in broken glass
the scars may never heal
in comes the silence
and you know how that makes me feel
