Some Rotten Man

They stuck you in the dirt while I was still away But nobody had the decency to tell me about it anyways. Well, I guess it's for the best that they laid you down to rest Without some wreck like me to ruin things and turn into a mess. But I remember when we ran away and the car we stole broke down Along some dusty highway with nobody else around. So we hitched a ride to Reno, but the ring I got you wouldn't fit. And the minister got drunk before, and we laughed 'til we got sick. And of course, I know you could have done much better, and I Know that I must have been your bad habit. Some rotten man. Nobody's savior. Your oldest friend. I haven't slept the same since you been gone, And when I do sleep, the nightmares come. This hell I live in hasn't been the same without you here. Our daughter still won't speak to me. My letters aren't returned at all. I can't believe the mess I've made of everybody's lives. And of course, I know you could have done much better And I know that I must have been a real fucking nightmare. Some rotten man. Nobody's savior. Your oldest friend.
