I drove back on the 25th, Oh that “most wonderful” time of the year
And slept under a crucifix, just hanging on after all these years
Nothing's changed but the furniture and the way she wears her hair
The streets aren't lined for my parade, as if I would even care.
It was the era of 1860 Penrose St.
Where you and I spent most all our history
A painting hangs of all us 3 under the front yard tree
We looked like a family in the 90's
Sometimes you wonder why I ever left this place
Maybe I was just wild, wasted, and young
And after a night of it's warm embrace
I don't find it hard to say, "Take me the fuck home"
Now I'm too big for your shoulders, they used to make me feel so tall
It's from that perspective, that made me see that this town’s so small
My old friends are much older now, they buy their crib and coffin from the same place
But they've all found a way to keep satisfied, and safe
Down to the bars that spill out of Center St.
Across the river till the bar close on East
Spent the night spilling our guts, the morning after throwing them up
We were so much younger at 18
Sometimes you wonder why I ever left this place
Maybe I was just wild, wasted, and young
And after a night of it's warm embrace
I don't find it hard to say, "Take me the fuck home"
This city is self-obsessed, we’re both unlike my father in that way
He says, "Each day is a heaven sent." but these catholic schools scared me straight
You just keep counting your rosary, let cancer keep count of the score
I've got all this sadness but I don't know who it's for
