Never Knew The Guy (LW | RG)

I heard you were a gin drinker
who liked to play cards
had a penchant for blondes
and vintage cars
Heard you threw a mean right
had an eagle tattoo
and every day my mother says
I look just like you - just like you

chorus (x2)
*that’s the story they tell me
since you took off one night
they tell me about my father
but I never knew the guy*

You were a varsity jock
who listened to punk
Couldn’t hold a job
‘cause you never gave a fuck
Heard you had a temper
and I have your eyes
Heard you loved my mother
and your mistress on the side - on the side

that’s the story they tell me
since you took off one night
they tell me about my father
but I never knew the guy

bridge:
Water broke on prom night
and you didn’t stick around
You send postcards
from a hundred different towns
Heard I have a sister
hope you treat her well
But as for you, you can go to hell
go to hell
go to hell

that’s the story they tell me
since you took off one night
they tell me about my father
but I never knew the guy

“Fuck that guy.”
