Song For You

I'm down up around and through
all the shit I had coming
I sidestepped
and passed on to you
chasing whiskey
down the highway
sitting in your old brown car
listening to the river
and that Tina Turner
song you loved so much
or was it Tom Petty
chasing that whiskey
with acid weed and coke
pain killers and magic mushrooms
whenever we could afford it
life sure had its moments
the money always ran out though
no matter how hard I thought about it
it always came out wrong
like the time I hitch hiked to your house
and you weren't home
our the night you drove out to the base
and I was way too drunk
or maybe I never thought about it enough
and you never said goodbye
the night before you left
Columbus for good
I was sad for a long time
and maybe you were too
Sometimes I wonder
if we think about each other
at the exact same moment
that would be kind of cool
wouldn't it?
