Just thought I'd drop you a line
And let you know I was doing fine
Cause baby, it's been a long, long time
since you walked out my door
It took me some time, I must confess
I was feeling less than my best
I thought I'd start a brand
Thought of my calling lonely
Things got a little out of hand
Ended up hooked on heroin
So I ended up moving back
Living with the folks, buying groceries
The time I had was mostly free
Spent most of it drinking
The gun, myself, and the jam on two
I guess it's what I had to do
But late at night I'm still thinking
you felt like I was drowning
So I met this girl at a discotheque
But then I didn't really care,
I was half drunk, half crazy
Got arrested, but never convicted
Parents eventually had me evicted
Heard you got married and
Called your folks, but well,
Said it's probably better that way
Moved back to Austin about
Drive a school bus, I don't drink no more
Go out every once in a while
But mostly I just watch TV
So I don't know where I'm
I doubt things are ever gon
It seems like last one big whatever,
Just thought I'd drop you a line
Cause baby it's been a long, long time
Since you walked out my door you
