There is a girl I used to know
She had a hundred ways of hurting you and so
I packed my bags and left her as she watched some TV show
There is a girl I used to know
There is a town I used to love
It once contained most everything I ever did dream of
My baby in the basement as the traffic trolled above
There is a town I used to love
There is a bar I used to know
I still sometimes drop by when I have no place else to go
It's where the kings of comedy compare their tattered souls
There is a bar I used to know
So buy me one more drink before you go
Or lend me a twenty and I'll get drunk on my own
You always find some company, come in to used the phone
Someone who can't stand to see a friend go home alone
There is a joke I used to tell
Some guy who gets three wishes ends up wasting them to hell
And in the end in misery he tells the joke himself
There is a guy I used to know
He once had everything that any man could hold
And now he sits here drinking with a tale that always goes
There is a girl I used to know...
