lyrics

I keep expecting you in that hot-wired Mercedes
Pullin' on a handle of Jim tucked between your legs
As we tear through West Oakland
Cigarettes smokin', windows wide open
Didn’t know where we were goin'

You tore us to shreds just like your guitars
And you tore up our hearts when you ended it all
And I just wanna write that one riff
That could bring you on back
In your hot-wired Mercedes, making wise-cracks

I remember one night back east how you pulled me aside
And you stood me up straight when I was outta my mind
You looked me in the eye when I’d had too much wine
And you said something sweet and that kept me alive
Wish I could've been there, in your time of need
Looked you in the eye, and said something sweet

Like "your songs held me up when I hated my life"
Like "you called my bullshit when my head wasn’t right"
Like "you shine so bright, we all love you so much,
You mean everything to so many of us"

You tore us to shreds just like your guitars
And you tore up our hearts when you ended it all
And I just wanna write that one riff
That could bring you on back
In that busted old car, making wisecracks
Tearing through West Oakland
I wish you’d come back

I can’t say bye to you.
