The Only Other Girl from Back Home

Most of the snow’s melted it’s just lumps of ice
& plastic bags strewn in the yard
I’d go & get us a bottle of wine
But I’m pretty sure that they card
Lansing is ugly it smells like a bus
But it’s better than where we came from
& you’re the only girl I can talk to
You’re the only other girl from back home

You got a job & you got me one too
& we hated our jobs pretty bad
But there was this one boy we both thought was cute
This Hessian dishwasher named Chad
& I took him home knowing you liked him first
& you cussed me out on the phone
Now you won’t even talk to me
& you’re the only other girl from back home

I ran into Case-Man an hour ago
He was just passing through town
He said this junior took gasoline cans
& she burned our old high school down
& I ran out to find you I looked everywhere
Though you said to leave you alone
But you’re the only person that I thought should know
You’re the only other girl from back home

You’re the one single person I wanted to tell
We’re the only two girls from back home
