Never Knew The Guy Lyrics

I heard you were a gin drinker who liked to play cards

Had a penchant for blondes and vintage cars

Heard you threw a mean right, had an eagle tattoo

And every day my mother says I look just like you, just like you

That's the story they tell me

Since you took off one night

They tell me about my father

But I never knew the guy

That's the story they tell me

Since you took off one night

They tell me about my father

But I never knew the guy

You were a varsity jock

Who listened to punk

Couldn't hold a job

Cause you never gave a fuck

Heard you had a temper

And I have your eyes

Heard you loved my mother

And your mistress on the side, on the sly

That's the story they tell me

Since you took off one night

They tell me about my father

But I never knew the guy

That's the story they tell me

Since you took off one night

They tell me about my father

But I never knew the guy

Water broke on prom night, and you didn't stick around

You send post cards from a hundred different towns

Heard I have a sister, hope you treat her well

But as for you, you can go to hell

Go to hell

That's the story they tell me

Since you took off one night

They tell me about my father

But I never knew the guy

Fuck that guy
