lyrics

so i met her in a tavern in saint paul

she was wearing the tightest david bowie t-shirt i think i ever saw

it seemed the only thing we had in common was our love for alcohol



i was watching her, she was staring at him

some blue eyed, blonde haired kid … who musta spent his life in the gym

well ya can’t compete with that

i ordered up a shot of jager mister… that’s jager…that’s mister



she went west and became and actress

starred in porno films with only one mattress

on the floors of motels you and i would never stay

just outside of la …she’s



chorus:

a midwestern child

with midwestern style

and misguided dreams of … hollywood



3 years later she came back

2 weeks after my father’s heart attack

and it seemed old california knocked that smile right off her face

but that’s okay we all make the same mistakes



so i moved in for one last chance

but not before captain kickass named lance

got her in his blue iroc and got her out of her pants

guys named lance… they’re the kings of romance



so there was nothing i could say or do

oh until i heard that her and lance were through

seems old lance liked to knock that smile off her face too

these days what the hell you gonna do… when you’re



chorus:



got word that she moved back out west

but not another ‘til the hollywood press

photographed her sexual adventures

with a state senator’s daughter



sure as hell she headed right back

the day i got the world’s worst record contract

so i left minnesota

on a sunday… morning… now i’m



chorus:



next thing i know it’s 9/11

so i move back home… now i’m 27

and i get a real job

and let all those dreams go



‘cause i don’t believe in love at fourth sight

but if i could go back to the first night

i’d kick the shit out of lance

and then i’d let you know… what I think you always have known



chorus:

(and i’m… too)
