I never practiced piano when I was a boy
and I still ainât working to perfect guitar.
I never read my lesson books
like others did,
the way they looked in study halls
while I mapped out the stars.
Sometimes I forget to do
the things that others do,
take it as itâs handed
like a hopeful kid in June.
So, sometimes I retracted to
the howling wind and moon,
but I learned out there,
I learned a thing or two.
I only know the bills I owe when overdue,
and I swear the lost and found has my estate.
When Uncle Sam asked âwhereâs my plate?â
I said âcome in,â he said âIâll wait,â
I ran away, I always run away.
Sometimes I forget to do
the things that others do,
take it as itâs handed
like some bourbon on the room.
Sometimes Iâll be up, and drunk,
my problems on a few,
but Iâll learn out there,
Iâll learn a thing or two.
I knew when you were cominâ, oh,
I learned your name
and I tried to make it all seem by mistake.
I didnât know the lengths Iâd go,
what Iâd devote in every note,
I found a hill and built a cityscape.
So while sometimes I forget to do
the things that lovers do,
take it all for granted
like a night Iâm sleeping through...
So, sometimes Iâll awaken from a dream cold and confused,
but Iâll learn again to fall in love with you.
Sometimes I forget to do the things that lovers do
Iâll learn again to fall in love with you.
Cuz I learned, I did, I learned a thing or two.
