lyrics

I spent my summers at the door of the bar
watching all the patrons,W marching in, in single file
I learned to tell apart the ones with armor from the ones with hearts
but those were few and far between
if you had any sense you weren't a part of this scene

and let me tell you, you weren't missing out on anything
and let me tell you, you weren't missing out on anything

I closed it down again, time to go it's 3 a.m.
and it's a long way back to home, but I never mind going alone
Back there I'd fall asleep, just as the sun would hit my feet
when I could dream of better days
before I got old and dreamt my life away

and let me tell you I was missing out on everything
and let me tell you I was missing out on everything

'cause I was a fool
I was a young fool
and I didn't know any better

'cause I was a fool
I was a young fool
and I didn't know any better

and I still don't
