lyrics

Everything I know
I guess I have been told
I sure as hell didn't learn it on the road
From books or magazines
or some ghost up on a screen
or all the songs so dearly bought
and cheaply sold

Remember when we met?
Well, I ain't forgotten yet
A moon so cold the light could crack a stone
We were passing silhouettes
until I bummed a cigarette
and you asked me what I thought
of getting old

So I send this song to you
in your private school
Chicago, where you learned to be alone
And if I make it through
for all the good that it might do
I hope it keeps your worried heart
from turning cold

Dancing on a stage
to the hit parade
And I've forgotten every word I'd like to sing
It's only if this is goodbye
well, it's just too damned sweet and I
am not accustomed to so easy a thing

'Cause everything I'd known
I guess I learned it on my own
I sure as hell didn't do what I was told
The only thing I'd ever done
that was any good to anyone
was spending nearly all my time alone

Still, I'll send this song to you
in your private school
Chicago, where you learned to be alone
And if I make it through
for all the good that it might do
I hope it keeps your worried heart
from turning cold
