Mighty Mighty Bosstones - I Wrote It lyrics

rate me

I wrote it with a golf pencil I pulled out of my blazer<br />

A crest sewn on the chest read "Old Gold Rugby Football Club"<br />

Worn at one time by a man, that at one time went to Yale<br />

Then he worked a while on Wall Street, until the market collapsed<br />

<br />

I was in a barroom that was somewhere on the southern shore of Boston<br />

The tender of the bar poured me a whisky on the house<br />

I had a love for whisky, I chased it with a beer<br />

I have a love for Boston and I loved writing it there<br />

<br />

I wrote it in a notebook that somebody let me borrow<br />

"Don't use all the paper please and if you could bring it back to me tomorrow"<br />

It was a fair request and I was grateful for the loan<br />

I had to jot a thought down I came up with on my own<br />

<br />

I wrote it in October and I mention that because<br />

Out of all the months there are I've always liked that one the best<br />

I don't know why I bring this up but there are times I wonder what<br />

Ever happened to that man I wonder after the collapse<br />

<br />

I wrote it in a notebook that somebody let me borrow<br />

"Don't use all the paper please and if you could bring it back to me tomorrow"<br />

It was a fair request and I was grateful for the loan<br />

I had to jot a thought down I came up with on my own<br />

<br />

I wrote, I wrote it for you<br />

I wrote, I wrote it for you<br />

I wrote, I wrote it for you<br />

I wrote, I wrote it for you<br />

<br />

I wrote it in an hour so, so really not much longer<br />

I put the pencil in the shot glass and I buttoned up my blazer<br />

I stepped out of the bar in to the cold October sun<br />

I must return the notebook it's not important what I wrote
