Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We had a dog named Bocephus livin' in the front yard
He liked sleepin' out on top of the car
He drank beer outta the mason jar
And he'd climb up on everyone in bed
[Verse 2]
A white frame house in a college town
A bunch of people always hangin' around
No real problems we needed to drown
But we tried our best anyway
[Verse 3]
And we went to class just to pass the time
Back in '89
[Verse 4]
We had a keg in the closet, pizza on the floor
Left over from the night before
Where we were goin', we didn't really care
We had all we ever wanted in that keg in the closet
[Verse 5]
This old guitar taught me how to score
Right there on that Lambda Chi porch
Mary Anne taught me a little more
About wantin' what you can't have
[Verse 6]
Sweatshirts and flag football
Spring breaks down in Panama
And for a while we had it all
We never dreamed it wouldn't last
[Verse 7]
And we went to class just to pass the time
Back in '89
[Verse 8]
We had a keg in the closet, pizza on the floor
Left over from the night before
Where we were goin', we didn't really care
We had all we ever wanted in that keg in the closet
[Verse 9]
We all kinda went our separate ways
But I swear it seems like yesterday
[Verse 10]
Keg in the closet, pizza on the floor
Left over from the night before
Where we were goin', we didn't really care
We had all we ever wanted in that keg in the closet
[Verse 11]
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
