The Summers I Never Spent With You

Your mother owned a Cadillac
She's got a cigarette on her mouth
You said, 'Agnus baby, that's what Heaven feels like in the south.'
You know football and working out
And all I had was dreams and having doubts
Who knew
I'm gonna make it out

Your brother went to an Ivy League
You caught the flu on Christmas Eve
I spent the spring in institutions
'Cause my dad at home won't let me leave

I've got a one-way ticket to life, and I'm fucking it up
Pour another shot of vodka in my cup
I'll say goodbye to those summers I never spent with you
I've got a keen obsession with the bourgeoisie
That's why my daddy never wanted you to marry me
I'll say goodbye to those summers I'll never be with you

Your father was a businessman
He's got a shotgun in his house
When he found your stash and you said it was mine
Had me committed, shut my mouth

My father sat and took a breath as he read the morning news
'My Agnus baby, only child,'
I'm the pariah and the muse

He called the clinic, 'Is he there?'
I ran out crying, 'I'm clean, I swear.'
I spent the spring in institutions
'Cause my daddy doesn't even care

I've got a one-way ticket to life, and I'm fucking it up
Pour another shot of vodka in my cup
I'll say goodbye to those summers I never spent with you
I've got a keen obsession with the bourgeoisie
That's why my daddy never wanted you to marry me
I'll say goodbye to those summers I'll never be with you
