Nothing here is like the way
That I’m rememberin'
I swore there was a diner down
On 4th and Hennepin
We’d smash our bottles in the street
And curse at Frank Viola
Cause when the Twins lose 102
You spike the coca-cola
But that was back then
I remember it well
But maybe I’m wrong
Summer’s longer when you’re young
Whatever drugs you’re on
I think in June we overdosed
And saw The Wrath of Khan
I swore to god thе girl in front
Was Olivia Newton John
We tried to find hеr manager
And I woke up in the lawn
But that was back then
I remember it well
But maybe I’m wrong
Oh there was something in the air in Minnesota
Way back then
Oh but I don’t think that where I’m now it meets the quota
Like Minnesota
Nothing here is like it was
30 years ago
But what did I expect that I
Didn’t already know
We lost some friends in the Persian Gulf
But gained some Northern Stars
It could be that it’s colder now
Or they’re tending different bars
Yeah that was back then
And now we’re out here
Wondering if
The cloudiness cleared
Yeah that was back then
I remember it well
But maybe I’m wrong
