This Year |
| I broke free on a Saturday morning |
| I put the pedal to the floor |
| Headed north on mills avenue |
| And listened to the engine roar |
| My broken house behind me And good things ahead |
| A girl named Kathy |
| Wants a little of my time |
| Six cylinders underneath the hood |
| Crashing and kicking |
| Aha! |
| Listen to the engine whine |
| I am going to make it through this year |
| If it kills me I am going to make it through this year |
| If it kills me I played video games in a drunken haze |
| I was seventeen years young |
| Hurt my knuckles punching the machines |
| The taste of scotch rich on my tongue |
| And then Kathy showed up And we hung out |
| Trading swigs from a bottle |
| All bitter and clean |
| Locking eyes |
| Holding hands |
| Twin high maintenance machines |
| I am going to make it through this year |
| If it kills me I am going to make it through this year |
| If it kills me I drove home in the California dusk |
| I could feel the alcohol inside of me hum |
| Pictured the look on my stepfather’s face |
| Ready for the bad things to come |
| I down shifted as I pulled into the driveway |
| The motor screaming out |
| Stuck in second gear |
| The scene ends badly |
| As you might imagine |
| In a cavalcade of anger and fear |
| There will be feasting and dancing |
| In Jerusalem next year |
| I am going to make it through this year |
| If it kills me I am going to make it through this year |
| If it kills me |
