Well, I had a buddy back in '81
And we made ourselves a pact
We were headin' for the new pipeline
We were never comin' back
But La Grange was too damn hot
We drove back home at the end of that week
And we spent it all on pot
Well, I played ball every single fall
I could run just like the wind
Went to college like they asked me to
But they didn't ask my friends
Don't think I seen a single classroom
But I drank a lot of beer
My buddies still love to listen to me
when I talk about that year
Now I got myself a little band
And we're pretty good I guess
But I never learned how to wear my hair
And I never learned how to dress
So I'm leaving for the last time honey
Gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time
Gonna head my ass back home
