Had To Laugh Lyrics

I burned the last of the resin
Skipping Sunday school, wishing
I could torch all I'd ever done
(didn't I?)
Racing back to church under
Downtown's bluffs of brick and stone
Desolate as a bone in the morning sun
(didn't I?)

I was doing 120, torn up on 280
In the wagon my brother handed down to me
Wishing for it all to end
(didn't I?)
You were hidden inside the fortress walls of
Some bamboo jungle, shotgunning weed
With one of my so-called friends
(weren't you?)

When you told me that You'd never fall in love…
(Did you really mean that?)
When you told me that
You'd never fall in love
You know I had to laugh

My eyes were clear
My tail was tucked
The road was straight. The night was black
(Yeah, it was!)
The phone buzzed
My ears rang
The sun crawled over Fairfield, the rows of cold smokestacks
(Yeah, they were!)

When I told you that
I'd never fall in love…
(Yeah, I really said that.)
When I told you that
I'd never fall in love
I know you had to laugh
