How many nights was it?
How many beers did you drink?
And how many tears were shed
'fore you stepped back to think,
"Maybe he wasn't good enough."
And how many times must you hear me say,
"I KNOW WHAT I WANTED.
Some time to run and play..."
But you know I'll never forget where I came from;
That place where I first learned to sing.
Same goes for you, girl!
I never meant to cause you any trouble!
Yeah, I only ask that you pass friendly
cos you know I never forget a face.
The only one I know that's safe!
The only way I know to keep sane.
//////////I take that back. You've gotta help me out.
The only way I know to keep sane,
and that's so essential these days, ain't it?
