lyrics

I was the kid who never quite fit too young to care and too old to quit
Til the day my day my old man split six weeks later he drove off a bridge
Too lit to notice it when he hit Cadillac sank like a ton of bricks
Never did find that son of a bitch bet that's yet where he sits

Been so young so long been the only one
Can guess that we were blessed when the old man took the plunge

My brother Jack taught me black from blue and every pure and dirty slur he knew
Philistine Quisling Pantagruel then he drowned the cat in our wading pool
Mom knew it was some terrible clue whole lot of crazy and a little bit true
Packed Jack up and moved him to the Zoo now he's cursing with a whole new crew
Mary Jean killed for the thrill of the pace but she wouldn't let me turn that double play
I talked about fate and second base she couldn't even keep her face on straight
Hung up when I called about a second date a half foot short and a decade late
Bet she thinks she put me in my place make no mistake that ain't the case

Been so young so long been the only one
Knows what a good girl could what a good girl could become

Got my Caddy long and mean the keys were right there on the seat
Staring up through the window at me I got her parked safe off the street
Borrowed cars are hard to keep I'll sell the parts down in Delray Beach
Take the cash and get a room for cheap when you keep your mouth shut life gets sweet

Been so young so long been the only one
Sees what Mama needs but still I gotta run
Been so young so long been the only son
Jack ain't coming back but still I gotta run yeah still I gotta run
