Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

This song goes out to my good friends

 Especially the ones I had before the Grammy nominations in 2003

 And all the girls from back in high school

 Who actually spoke to me

 Even though I was a fat kid and a marching band geek

 I hope this song finds you well

 And I hope that you're doin’ fuckin’ swell

 I hope that you’re back up if you've ever been down

 And I hope that you got the fuck out of our hometown

Verse 2

 Here comes a shout out to the professor

 Who said Son pick a path and stay the same, cause charisma is the key to opportunity

 And to all the clubs that let us play

 To our family and friends and the music stores, For giving us gear when we couldn't pay

 I hope this song finds you well

 And I hope that you're doin’ fuckin’ swell

 I hope that you're back up if you've ever been down

 And I hope that you got the fuck out of our hometown

Bridge

 You know I can't count how many times I’ve heard people say (heard people say)

 Be proud of where you're from, you're gonna put us on the map

 But where the hell were you back in the day (back in the day)

No one came to see us, so we got the hell out of there

 So there you have it

Verse 3

This song goes out to my big brother

 For putting up with me following you around

 And making me smile when things at home weren't great

 And not getting pissed when I humped your girlfriend

 For letting me take your car to the prom

 For beating up the guys that hung my bike in a tree

 For hand-me-down down albums and guitars with no strings

 For never beating the shit outta me

 I hope this song finds you well

 And I hope that you're doin fuckin swell

 I hope that you're back up cause I know you've been down

 I just wish you'd get the fuck out of our hometown

 I hope you get the fuck out of our hometown

 I'm so glad I got the fuck out of our hometown

 You know what I’m talking about don’t ya?

 Damn it!
