lyrics

I once sang "Raiders, Hallelujah!"
Cuz Holy Cross'll run right thru ya
And it does
I still wear my sweater
It now fits me better
And sometimes some of us got plastered
Sometimes there was lots of laughter
Sometimes not
Sometimes there were bruises
Cuz sometimes we were stupid
And sometimes some of us were
Something more than friends
We were so much younger then

I once sang "Wonder where you wander"
Now here we are and I no longer
Have to try
I still wear my t-shirt
Even as a teacher
Sometimes we made some kind of racket
Sometimes we had to pack it up the
Same damn night
Sometimes there were days spent
Locked down in the basement
We had it tightened up
We had time to pretend
We were so much younger then

Some day I might end up with cancer
I hope by then I'll have the answers
But I won't
Where are all the songs from?
Singing and guitar strums?
And Hallelujah, how I'll wonder
Headed up or headed under
Or at all?
I'm still gonna ask it
Till I'm in a casket
But looking back on all my
Worries at the end
I was so much younger then
