Some summers in the evening after 6 or so
I walk on down the hill and maybe buy a beer
I think about my friends
Sometimes, I wish they lived out here
But they wouldn't dig this town
No, they wouldn't dig this town
Try not to think about it, Alice Childress
Try not to think about it anymore
Try not to think about it, Alice Childress
Anymore, no, not anymore
Alice, the world is full of ugly things that you can't change
Pretend it's not that way, that's my idea of faith
You can blow it off and say there's good in nearly everyone
Just give them all a chance
Now let's give them all a chance
Try not to think about it, Alice Childress
Try not to think about it anymore
Try not to think about it, Alice Childress
Anymore, no, not anymore
No, it didn't work out
No, it didn't work out the way we thought it would
No, it didn't work out
(An arranged marriage is not so good)
Thank God it's you, you know, your timing is impeccable
And I'm not fooling you, I don't know what to do
Some dude just knocked me cold and left me on the sidewalk
Took everything I had
Everything I had
Try not to think about it, Alice Childress
Try not to think about it anymore
It's getting late where you are, Alice Childress
Anymore, no, not anymore
Anymore, no, not anymore
