Todd Snider - Long Year Lyrics
I came in off a dead end street.Walked in slow and took a back row seat;I knew I had nothing new to say.So many people looking so burned outI couldn't help feeling bad about justHaving to be there anyway.A friend of a friend from work came in.I never have known what to make of him,He'd always seemed to be so insincere to me.You know I've always been afraid of a 12 step crowd;They laugh too much and talk too loudLike they all know where everyone should be.It's been a long,A long, long year.It's been a long,A long, long year.How did I get here?They were talking in a circle, I was by myselfEveryone was telling everyone how they felt;It felt like so long since I'd been young.As the circle kept moving its way to the backI was wondering what I was going to say.In fact, I still didn't knowAs it rolled off my tongue...It's been a long,A long, long year.It's been a long,A long, long year.How did I get here?I didn't say a word all the way to my carBut a little later on that night at the barI was telling everyone how strange my day had been.They said "Brother, all you need is another shot"So I threw one down and said "thanks a lot"As I thought to myself "Well, here we go again".It's been a long,A long, long year.It's been a long,A long, long year.How did I get here?
