I Wrote It

I wrote it with a golf pencil I pulled out of my blazer

A crest sewn on the chest read "Old Gold Rugby Football Club"

Worn at one time by a man, that at one time went to Yale

Then he worked a while on Wall Street, until the market collapsed

I was in a barroom that was somewhere on the southern shore of Boston

The tender of the bar poured me a whiskey on the house

I had a love for whiskey, I chased it with a beer

I have a love for Boston and I loved writing it there

I wrote it in a notebook that somebody let me borrow

"Don't use all the paper please and if you could bring it back to me tomorrow"

It was a fair request and I was grateful for the loan

I had to jot a thought down I came up with on my own

I wrote it in October and I mention that because

Out of all the months there are I've always liked that one the best

I don't know why I bring this up but there are times I wonder what

Ever happened to that man I wonder after the collapse

I wrote it in a notebook that somebody let me borrow

"Don't use all the paper please and if you could bring it back to me tomorrow"

It was a fair request and I was grateful for the loan

I had to jot a thought down I came up with on my own

I wrote, I wrote it for you

I wrote, I wrote it for you

I wrote, I wrote it for you

I wrote, I wrote it for you

I wrote it in an hour so, so really not much longer

I put the pencil in the shot glass and I buttoned up my blazer

I stepped out of the bar in to the cold October sun

I must return the notebook it's not important what I wrote
