lyrics

I used to keep a journal
Wrote in it everyday
Wrote about the shit in my shitty life
Wrote so I could have my say
I kept it going for 40-odd years
Mostly I’d bitch and complain
And when I look back on it now
I see depression and pain

I wrote a hundred volumes
About every cranny and nook
And in the end I wound up with
A very sad handwritten book

I used to keep a journal
Wrote in it every detail
The life I lived and who I was
Every win and every epic fail
Wrote about the people that I loved
And all the people that I hated
I guess I must’ve known a lot of jerks
Yes, that’s clearly demonstrated

I used to keep a journal
But now I’m gonna throw them out
They don’t do me any good no more
Of that I have no doubt
So I brung them to a UPS store
So they could be pulverized
But the guy behind the counter
Looked at me kinda weird
And said that was ill-advised
