Bob Schneider * Track #16 On Lonelyland

2002 Lyrics

The year is 2002
I'm doing exactly what I wanna do
And baby, I don't even think about you anymore

Thought I'd drop you a line
Let you know I was doing fine
Cause baby, it's been a long long time since you walked out my door

And it took me some time, I must confess
For a while there I was feeling less than my best
Had to get out of town so I headed out west, ended up in Seattle

Thought I'd start a brand new band
Thought I might call it "Lonelyland"
Things got a little out of hand, ended up hooked on heroine

So I ended up moving back over to Germany
Living with the folks, bagging groceries
The time I had was mostly free, spent most of it drinking

Got myself in a jam or two
Guess it's what I had to do
Late at night I'd still think of you, felt like I was drowning

Met this girl at a discotheque
She's a dancer baby, but not what you'd expect
She taught ballet and she was half Czech, half Chinese

But after she decided not to have the baby
Said she might move back to the mainland, maybe
By then I didn't really care; I was half drunk, half crazy

Got arrested, but never convicted
Parents eventually had me evicted
Tried your number, it'd been disconnected
Guess I should've know

Heard you got married and you moved away
Called your folks, but where they would not say
Said "it's probably better that way," so I just let it be

Moved back to Austin about a year ago
Drive a school-bus, I don't drink no more
Go out every once in a while and see a show, but mostly I just watch TV

So I don't know where I'm gonna send this letter
Doubt things are ever gonna get much better
Seems like life's just one big whatever
Anyway

Thought I'd drop you a line
Lie and say I was doing fine
Cause baby, it's been a long long time
Since you walked out my door
