Boy, by the ocean

Cigarettes won't always be this cheap, boy

Better smoke a lifetime supply today

And good friends won't always come for free, boy

Show your true colors you're sure to pay

Gasoline can't always get you home, boy

Some days you feel as if you've never been

Spend all your money on your outside

Spend all your outside looking in

I fear

The clock

I fear

The flame

I fear

The big brother of my ex lover

What's his name

Your dad won't always be your hero

That man looks just as lost as you

Each one's as sleepless as the other

Only, he's got his God to talk it through
