The year is 2002
I'm doing exactly what I wanted to
Baby I don't even think about you anymore
Just thought I'd drop you a line
To let you know I was doing fine
'Cause baby it's been a long, long time
Since you walked out my door
It took me some time I must confess
For a while there I was feeling less than my best
Had get out of town so I headed out west
Ended up in Seattle
I thought I'd start a brand new band
Thought I might call it Lonelyland
Things got a little out of hand
Ended up hooked on heroin

So ended up moving back over to Germany
Living with the folks baggin' grocery
The time I had was mostly free
I spent most of it drinking
I got myself in a jam or two
Guess it's what I had to do
Late at night I'd still thinkin' you
Felt like I was drowning
I met this girl at a discotheque
She is a dancer, baby, but not what you'd expect
She taught ballet
And she was half-Czech, half Chinese
But after she decided not to have the baby
Said she might move back to the Mainland maybe
But then I didn't really care
I was half drunk, half crazy

Got arrested, but never convicted
Parents eventually had me evicted
Tried your number, it been disconnected
Guess I should've known
Heard you got married and you moved away
Called your folks but where they wouldn't say
Said it's probably better that way
So I just let it be
Moved back to Austin 'bout a year ago
Drive a school bus I don't drink no more
Go out every once in a while and see show
But mostly I just watch TV
So I don't know where I'm gonna send this letter
I doubt things are ever going to get much better
Seems like life's one big whatever
Anyway
Just thought I'd drop you a line
Lie and say I was doing fine
'Cause baby it's been a long, long time
Since you walked out my door
