Bristol Street ft. Andy Nemchek Lyrics

We were just a couple of kids

She was just about to finish high school

Long before I hit the skids

I thought I was brilliant; I was just a tool

I was born six months before her

But, she was ten years older

Smart and calm; I could feel it occur

A fire inside me, from a tiny smolder

Daddy was an entrepreneur

Momma was the queen of Denmark

To me, she wasn't just the femme d'jour

How those green eyes traced me in the dark

Our living room was all from Pic n' Sav

And things her folks left behind

I learned how to drink and forgot how to shave

That din of Bristol Street still rents my mind

One day she left; I guess I wasn't that surprised

I never deserved those, big, soulful eyes

I tried to stitch together all my tries

But, it's so hard to face it, when love dies

Sometimes, when I'm feeling really beat

I think of those days on Bristol Street

And how I learned from her so much, so fast

And how first loves just last and last (and last and last....)

One day I realized she's never coming home

Someday I'll understand but for now, I'll be alone

Those days are far; my hair's all gray

What would she think if she saw me today

Could I still be her long-lost love

Or just a mistake she never thinks of

Or could it be she says, "You know, you're not half bad"

But why are all the songs you sing so sad?

Could I find the words I need to say

They're the only kind I sing since you've been away

So much life between then and now

She showed me where; she showed me how

Those stairs to 15V made such a man of me

Du var den bedste elska

(Sometimes I lose myself in thought

Its 3AM, I'm driving home from that parking lot

All I want to do, is get home safe to you)
