1981

I found another letter
This one was not much better
From a girl so long ago
A girl I used to know in Reno
Yea things they kinda happened
But I flunked her test or something
Punk rock cured my misery
She said it ruined her and me
[Chorus:]
Back in the day
We played in 1981
We and some fun way back in 1981
She went away I stayed in 1981
What's done is done
I found in 1981
I should explain the chorus
There was no future for us
She made life feel ok
We hung out every day
Then things got kinda creepy
She started getting weepy
Our things grew really odd
As soon as she found God
[Chorus]
She moved to Sacramento
Gave back all my mementos
Stood there and watched her go
Stayed with my band in Skeeno
We tried to keep things friendly
So hard when things have ended
Punk rock blamed for our decline
she said it ruined her and mine
[Chorus]
