plains (口白)歌词

One of the first gigs that I ever played
Out of all places
Was at my brother's fraternity house in Norman
For some philanthropy event
And you see my twelve-year-old self at the time
Decided to go on stage and intro one of the ballads by saying
"This is for all of the people who have ****** me over"
At twelve-years-old
I can only imagine how long that list was
After the show
My mom pulled me aside with like
True catholic anger in her eyes
Red in the face
You know whole nine-yards
And she said
"Listen men don't talk like that boys do
And I am raising you to be a man"
And of course she was right
And I think I hated most that I disappointed her
She stopped smoking the year I was born
But anytime I think of that story
I always picture her with a Virginia slim in her hand
It was her favorite smoke
