lyrics

I still remember when I crashed your car
I called you up and you called a tow truck
And right away, you asked me if I was alright
We didn't speak again of it after that night

When you and mom split, you could have been worse
We met your new chick and she was way cool
On Friday nights, we'd drive up to Oakland
Kayakin' up a storm at Lake Merritt

You taught me how to shop at Goodwill
Look at my shirt, it cost me a dollar

And you were sweet to me

I won't forget Mom! I know you tried hard
You lost the guy you'd been with since college
The Philippine Islands can't get you to Canada
Suburban town, Northern California

You weren't there because you always worked
Dad tried to help but he was bipiolar
Well he moved me out with him to Las Vegas
I made friends with a nerdy group of white kids

I wouldn't call you for months on end
Ten years apart but you were always visiting

And you were sweet to me
