lyrics

Home made hair cuts
and stick and poke tattoos
getting drunk
and playing shows
in punk house living rooms
LSD in the park
tripping in plain view
given a shit wasn’t ever something
I was prone to do
When I was cool,
When I was cool,
I weighed a buck fifteen
wore skinny jeans
and roamed these streets with you
when I was cool
I remember twenty two
writing twenty songs a day
Drinkin old crow whiskey
while tucker’s rollin up a a J
Even then I knew that things
were never gonna change
ain’t it funny
just how quickly never fades away
When I was cool,
When I was cool,
Back when the parties went all night
Back when I lived to break the rules
When I was cool
I recall at least three women
falling in love with me
And I recall a confidence
that made it seem easy
I remember snuffing heartbreak out
with youthful energy
As if every rare embrace or kiss
had meant nothing to me
When I was cool,
When I was cool,
I was a stupid punk ass kid
admittedly a no good fool
When I was cool
