no one told me

through a glass of the bottle

all is green and bent

and seeing her is dark and soft

i went through hell and back again

she was my dearest friend

and she will go to heaven

so maybe i can see her again

oh

my car will barely start

i gotta get it to vermont

she spent her summers in bar harbor on her own

working in a restaurant

and she had a lot of boyfriends

i count the ones i know

as i shudder through new hampshire

always on the radio

god-god-god damn that girl was fine

and i was glad to call her mine

she weren't mine and i weren't hers

i lost her at the five and dime

she was talking to a six-five-x marine

he was living out his truck

she said he was very fragile

i said i don't give a fuck

we went up and we went down

she wanted to get out of town

we were on a rollerocaster

they go nowhere

they just send you back on the ground

god-god-god damn that girl was fine

and i was glad to call her mine

she weren't mine and i weren't hers

i lost her at the five and dime

she was talking to a six-five-x marine

he was living out his truck

she said he was very fragile

i said i don't give a fuck
