YOU TO THANK

By the time the buzz was wearing off We were standing out on the sidewalk With our tattoos that looked like rings In the hot Nevada sun Gifts piled high Our moms and dads shook hands And a party of Polaroid friends Rented a pool and hired a band Maybe they knew more than we knew As they danced and drank We jumped off the deep end I've got you to thank for this Christmas came around And everything was going to crap For moms and for dads Not a clue to be had We put on a pretty good act And they seemed to all need to believe it So we danced and smiled And paddled hard beneath it I've got you to thank for this You can't say You've never had A doubt And smoked it down But really wanted out By the time the buzz was wearing off We were standing out on the sidewalk With our tattoos that looked like rings In the hot Nevada sun And they won't fade I've got you to thank
