You've been tearing out your hair And I've been drinking Listening to music in the dark And I've been keeping to myself And you've been slinking All around the trailer park There's no use even trying Because it's hopeless All of our dreams are dying of overdoses All of our plans are lying in ten-car road wrecks There's just no point in crying You know it's hopeless You look at strangers like a kid in a candy store I've been leaving on every train And you don't keep a diary anymore And I come home feeling no pain Don't let me rain on your parade Don't get your hair gray It's just another wasted year Nothing you can't forget in hours at the raceway Nothing that can't be drowned in beer
