You picked me up in your beat-up Jeep
Back when my problems were ankle-deep
We played Green Day way too loud
And flipped off preps in every crowd
We said we'd never sell our souls
But you got married, and I lost control
Now I’m stuck here in this Walmart town
Still trying to turn my life around (next Tuesday, probably)
I still owe you gas money
From that road trip to L.A.
And a burnt CD you hated
But you played it anyway
Yeah, we were dumb and kind of broke
Made bad decisions just for jokes
You grew up — I grew sideways
But I still think about those Fridays
And I still owe you gas money...
(Plus like 50 bucks for Taco Bell)
You got a job that pays you right
I’m still door dashing every night
You’ve got a kid, a grill, a lawn
I’ve got a roommate named Dijon (he’s a raccoon, don’t ask)
You post pics from your Disney cruise
I post memes and conspiracy news
But I’d trade all this modern stress
For a night in that Jeep and a little less mess
‘Cause I still owe you gas money
And probably an apology
For throwing up on your cousin’s shoes
At that party in ‘03
We were legends in our own dumb heads
With fake IDs and bunk twin beds
You moved on — I’m still rewinding
But man, those years were kinda blinding
And I still owe you gas money...
(And probably a new floor mat, too)
If you ever roll through this nowhere town
I’ll buy the beer and drive you ‘round
We’ll blast old songs and scream off-key
Pretend we’re still seventeen
I still owe you gas money
But more than that, I swear
I owe you every dumb mistake
And every time you cared
Yeah, we grew up, and that’s just fine
But I’ll still text you “remember that time?”
Thanks for the miles and all the trouble
Your friendship's worth at least... double
Even if I still owe you gas money
(...and maybe like emotional support forever)
