Well, hell, I started out as somebody else
Bulldozed by some bygone dreams and left with just myself
From college onto Carharts
To hardly even getting on base
To saying, "Hey I know how to fix this,
I'll take it out on some interstate "
As another Gibson-flashing upstart,
Tinged in some vintage style
Seeding wind from Memphis clear on to the Ego Islands
Till I met the downside upside my head
By the Igloo'd hand of an Indiana HVAC man
Well he wopp'd me once across the jaw,
He said I said something weird
I don't recall what it was, but I couldn't shave my beard
For nearly 9 weeks after that, the scar tissue's still there
He said "You better get started thinkin, son,
Or that's gonna be happening everywhere"
Say, how long since you loved somebody?
How long since you loved somebody
How long since you loved somebody,
A little more than U DO U?
So I fished for premonition off the docks of waking time
A little injured and engendered by some addled battle cry
Belonging to a long-gone buncha hunches of the mind
So aweigh, I yanked the anchor, see what else that I could find
Casting nets, deep in debt, down some past, forgotten hall
Where the only Chick-Fil-A back in the day was in the mall
Where even where you crashed
And burned nobody's there to hear you call
And the only eyes in my own was just my mirror on the wall
Say, how long since you loved somebody
Love somebody
Love somebody
A little more than U DO U
Love somebody
Love somebody
Love somebody
A little more than U DO U
