about

The story of a girl I met in my freight hopping days.

lyrics

I remember when I met you
Oh god it feels like so long
I just rolled into Pittsburgh
Coughin up all the smog
I was buskin for money
You had a net worth
You were wearin Louis Vuittons and
I was covered in dirt

We had a first date
You showed up on time
I showed up late and got a PBR while
You finished your wine
I said I wish I could tell you
I’m not a piece of shit
You said that’s ok I’ll
See how bad you can get


Then you traded your skirts and blouses
To get shitty in punk houses
You never wash your clothes and you think Tom Waits is dope
Now your screamin ACAB, dog out
Drinkin Steelies smokin snipes off the ground
You’ve got a trust fund but you tell everyone you’re broke
I know you think you’re so cool
But you’re kinda actin like a tool

I turned a yuppie into an oogle

Not even 2 months later
It was the start of the end
You were hangin with the burnouts
Shooting up heroin
You asked me to join you
I said it’s not my scene
You said you gotta try it
Oh my god it makes me feel like a queen

You traded in your skirts and blouses
To get shitty in punk houses
You never wash your clothes
And you think Days N Daze is the shit
Now you’re screamin ACAB, dog out
Drinkin steelies smokin snipes off the ground
I tried to help you
But you said I was being a bitch
And I know you think you’re so cool
How could I be such a fool

I turned a yuppie into an oogle

Now I’m back on the road
It’s been 2 years
You called me this morning
Could hardly talk through your tears
You said you finally did it
Went and checked yourself in
Told me your doing better
And you made some new friends

You’re takin back your skirts and blouses
Givin up those damn punk houses
Now you wash your clothes
But you still think Tom Waits is dope
I said I’m so glad you’re ok
Cause I just knew I’d lose you one day
All i can think to say is I'm so proud of you
Ina month you’ll be out of rehab
Then you’re goin back to your dad’s
He found you a job and
You’re gonna go back to school

That’s the last time I turn a yuppie into an oogle
