Two Cans and a String

Thirty days thirty nights

Held it back I didn’t cry

Cause I can handle most anything

Growing up will get you tough

There’s a line between the two of us

That never severs, I call it our string

Oh, mama don’t say it’s like it was

You would get drunk and call me up

After you ate up all those gummies

I left town when they put you in the ground

Said a bad joke cause I can’t cope

You would have laughed but it’s not funny

I still got your shoes sitting here in my apartment

I still buy my clothes in the second hand department

They say to listen up for god but I ain’t hearing anything

I wish we could talk like kids again on two cans and a string

Hey now you should see how my life turned out

Singing at shows and halfway broke

But I’m doing what I love

Of all our friends some walked down the deader ends

Some are married now with kids

I feel like I’m just waking up

I still got your shoes sitting here in my apartment

I still buy my clothes in the second hand department

They say to listen up for god but I ain’t hearing anything

I wish we could talk like kids again on two cans and a string
