Band Camp Lyrics - Vic Chesnutt

Well, the first time I ever laid eyes on you 

Was my first year at marching band camp 

You never played the part as it was written 

You would always vamp 

You was always cracking me up 

Messing with the band director 

Mocking the tuba parts 

In your upper register 

If I knew then what I know now 

You shouldn't've even been talking to me 

Just a lowly freshman 

And you the undisputed queen of the senior class 

Without question

Yet at the band hangout Ruth's restaurant 

We sat together in a corner booth 

We got our burgers for free 

Because you was kin to Ruth 

If I knew then what I know now 

You always had a little something 

Hidden in your instrument case 

We would be practically making out 

On the bus home from the way games 

Once you soaked a tampon in some serious vodka 

Wore it to school 

Second period science lab 

You fell right off your stool 

If I knew then what I know now 

I didn't go to your graduation 

I just couldn't find the strength 

And I had to throw my yearbook in the dumpster 

Because it was haunting me 

Photos 

The very next time I ever laid eyes on you 

It was practically Christmas 

You already looked like a whole different person 

Just like much older sister 

If I knew then what I know now 

I still never, never, never would've 

Seen that coming
