Some Rotten Man

They stuck you in the dirt while I was still away
 But nobody had the decency to tell me about it anyways.
 Well, I guess it's for the best that they laid you down to rest
 without some wreck like me to ruin things and turn into a mess.
 But I remember when we ran away and the car we stole broke down
 along some dusty highway with nobody else around.
 So we hitched a ride to Reno, but the ring I got you wouldn't fit.
 And the minister got drunk before, and we laughed 'til we got sick.
 And of course, I know you could have done much better, and I
 know that I must have been your bad habit.
 Some rotten man. Nobody's savior. Your oldest friend.
 I haven't slept the same since you been gone,
 And when I do sleep, the nightmares come.
 This hell I live in hasn't been the same without you here.
 Our daughter still won't speak to me. My letters aren't returned at all.
 I can't believe the mess I've made of everybody's lives.
 And of course, I know you could have done much better
 And I know that I must have been a real fucking nightmare.
 Some rotten man. Nobody's savior. Your oldest friend.
