We left our money in the box
And set out for a town you love
Where something positive happened
To someone else, but you heard it's true.
With a straight face on the radio,
School behind and up your ass,
No one can tell your name
Isn't American pronounceable.

We found our cars in parking lots
With signs around it, I don't know.
We heard it was okay to do
If you had a good grade, and I don't.
About fifteen years ago,
You left yourself a note about
Crying in the dark.
And I said that's dumb enough to put online.

We left our money in the box
And set out for a town you love
Where something positive happened
To someone else, but you heard it's true.
With a straight face on the radio,
School behind and up your ass,
No one can tell your name
Isn't American pronounceable.
