All I Need to Say

The week that Linda left town
The week she went to live somewhere south
Of Birmingham
That was the week I forgot how to give a damn
And I don't mean in the good time way

The week she went to be with that doctor she'd known
Since she was a girl, the one she'd call on the phone
On the holidays
And maybe every night I was away
I threw out our phone 5 months ago today
And for now, that's all I need to say

On the first weekend
I drove to find my old friends
The ones I hadn't seen but knew they were still there
Probably on a backroad somewhere
I wonder if they still talk about me

The week after Linda left town
I caught up with Frank Bonner at the Lost and Found
It was the first bar I'd seen in a year or close
And the first time I'd had anything up my nose
'Cause man, I wasn't sleeping anyway

Frank and Rick Hopper had a place on the south side
The month after Linda left I stayed there a couple nights
And I stayed awake
And I smelled like ammonia on a Sunday
You know they stare when you walk in church an hour late
And for now, that's all I'm gonna say

On the first weekend
I drove to find my old friends
The ones I hadn't seen but knew they were still there
Probably on a backroad somewhere
I wonder if they still talk about me

Linda'd been gone for 13 weeks
When I was caught stealing down at the Walgreen's
It was Sudafed
Told the cops I had a cold, but they just went ahead
And searched my car
And since then, I've been put away
And for now, that's all I need to say

On the first weekend
I drove to find my old friends
The ones I hadn't seen but knew they were still there
Probably on a backroad somewhere
I wonder if they still talk about me

Probably on a backroad somewhere
I wonder if they still talk about me
