lyrics

Crooked Teeth

You found me drunk
And fast asleep
Behind the wheel
Of someone’s jeep
And in my hand
A bottle and
A picture of
Your crooked teeth
On that night
We said goodbye
You went your way
And I went mine
That was fifteen
Years ago
Now you’re old
And I am grown
And I guess
We never knew
All the things
That we could do
Last I heard
You’d moved out west
And got a job
At Disneyland
And as for me
And as for mine
We’re still at home
And doin’ fine
I shot ten years
My whole twenties
Working on a PhD
That never seemed
To let me own
Anything but
Student loans
The days grow long
It’s getting late
And time like tears
Evaporate
My sallow sad
Myopic eyes
Squint too much
These days to cry
But there were days
Not long ago
My open faucet
Tear ducts flowed
Like William Wordsworth
High on grass
I recollect
The mournful past
You found me drunk…
