lyrics

When I think about my childhood
And all the kids that I knew
I remember names and I remember faces
A lot of memories accrue
You and me we both loved music
And so we went and started a band
I wanted us to be like the Beatles
To live that life firsthand
We thought that we would really make it

I can't say that I know you
Or know just where you been
But I can I say that I knew you
I knew you when

We moved out to New York City
And we practiced nearly every day
We saw eye to eye on almost every little thing
We knew what each other would say
Well people they sort of dug us
Would come a ways to see our shows
We played our freaking hearts out
To the kids in the very last rows
We thought that we would really make it

Why oh why didn't we
Why oh why didn't we
Why oh why didn't we
Why oh why didn't we fly

One day I got myself a new girlfriend
And you got a job selling cars
We didn't have the time to write our songs
Or sing to people in seedy bars
Now I am pushing on 60
And you are right up there too
Don't expect that you will ever think about me
And I don't know what to think of you
We thought that we would really make it
