You used to write my name

On the back of your notebook

All adorned with smiles and hearts and stars

But lately it would appear

That you found yourself a black magic marker

Just to make absolutely sure

That no one ever thought

That you'd take it that far

It's been a good year for, bad days

Or a bad year for, good days

Well here we go again now, here we go again now

You used to write me those

Funny little letters

In a language ours and ours alone

I gave my "Catcher in the Rye"

For your "Cats Cradle"

And I gave my "White" for your "Abby Road"

It's been a good year for, bad days

Or a bad year for, good days

Well, here we go again now, here we go again now

Truck tires, trash fires

Face first, through the wire

Adios, Au'revoir

I see now what I never saw

No more pet names, postcards and picture frames

Adios, Au'revoir

I see now what I never saw

No more bad knees

Post cards and picture frames

Adios, Au'revoir

I see now that I never saw

It's been a good year for, bad days

Or a bad year for, good days

It's been a good year for, bad days

Or a bad year for, good days

It's been a good year for, bad days

Or a bad year for, good days

It's been a good year for, bad days

Or a bad year for, good days yeah...........
