lyrics

Well I'm making you this phone call
Just to let you know
You're gonna be getting phone calls
All about the doins
At the trailer
On Saturday night
And if I know this place, you're gonna hear
Some fantastic stories
So I thought it might behoove me
To call you
And tell you my side

What had happened was
We got in a scrap because
She was talkin crap, like she does
All the time
Over nothing at all
So of course when the law came
You can guess who they all blamed
And then they found my cocaine
That could have gone better

It's hard not to frown
Bangin round, same old town
Getting older
Where they got bones they wanna pick
And knives they wanna stick
Between your shoulders
These old hills still have eyes
And towns of this size
Just never let anything die
And this time I don't know
If I'll make it out of Marlow alive

Cause what had happened was
It all went really bad for us
And we got nothing left to discuss
Just a love
Left to rust
On the ground
Don't I pay all the damn bills?
Don't I tell that bitch I love her still?
And when she wants her pain pills
Who's out driving all over town

What had happened was
Nobody ever went to bat for us
We'll never get it back the way it was
Might as well put that one down
What had happened was
I turned into one ornery cuss
I see my future at the back of a bus
Kickin dust
In a big rush out of town
What had happened was
I watched it all turn to dust
What had happened was
It all just fell apart
