_ _ _ _ song here is a song we wrote four years ago together _ _ _ _ _ and
_ David Allen Co
And and _ _ _ _ _ the nerve to cut this song and anybody who has the nerve to cut this song deserves whatever happens you know _ _ _ _
_ _ _ First two lines are serious
Yeah, the first two lines were serious and after that we tried to put it into this one thing everything we'd ever heard in any
of the country and Western songs
We'd ever heard
Co _ _ took the first two lines seriously, I think
So we learned the song every day
Hey, _ I _ hope so
