2 3 This song goes out
to my good friends
Especially the ones
I had before the Grammy
Nominations in 2003
And to all the girls
from back in high school
Who actually spoke to me
even though I was a fat kid
and a marching band geek
I hope this song finds you well
And I hope that
you do in fucking swell
I hope that you're back up
if you've ever been down
And I hope you got the fuck
out of our hometown
Here comes a shout
out to the professor
Who said, Son,pick a path
and stay the same
cause charisma is the key
to opportunity
And to all the clubs
that let us play
To our family and friends and
the music stores for giving us
gear when we couldn't pay
I hope this song finds you well
And I hope that
you do in fuckin swell
I hope that you're back up
if you've ever been down
And I hope you got the fuck
out of our town
You know I can't count how many
times I've heard people say
(heard people say)
be proud of where you're from
you're gonna put us on the map
But where the hell were you
back in the day
(back in the day)
No one came to see us so we got
the hell out of there
so there
You have a d-d-d-d-d-d dis
song goes out to my big brother
For putting up with me
following you around
And for making me smile when
things at home weren't great
And for not getting pissed
when I humped your girlfriend
For letting me take your car
to the prom
For beating up the guys
that hung my bike in a tree
For hand-me-down albums
and guitar with no strings
And for never beating
the shit outta me
I hope this song finds you well
And I hope that
you're do in fucking swell
I hope that you're back up
cause I know you've been down
I just wish you'd get the
fuck out of our hometown
I hope you get the fuck
out of our hometown
I'm so glad I got the fuck
out of our hometown
You know what I'm talking about
dontcha Dammit
