Long Year

I came in off a dead end street
 Walked in slow and took a back row seat
 I knew I had nothing new to say
 So many people looked so burned out
 I couldn't help feeling bad about just having to be there anyway
 A friend of a friend from work came in
 I never had known what to make of him
 He'd always seemed to be so insincere to me
 You know I've always been afraid of a 12 step crowd
 They laugh too much and talk too loud
 Like they all know where everyone should be
 It's been a long long long year
 It's been a long long long year
 How did I get here?
 They were talking in a circle, I was by myself
 Everyone was telling everyone how they felt
 It felt like so long since I'd been young
 As the circle kept moving its way to the back
 I was wondering what I was gonna say in fact
 I still didn't know as it rolled off my tongue
 It's been a long long long year
 It's been a long long long year
 How did I get here?
 I didn't say a word all the way to the car
 But a little later on that night at the bar
 I was telling everybody how strange my day had been
 They said brother all you need is another shot
 So I threw one down and said thanks a lot
 As I thought to myself well here we go again
 It's been a long long long year
 It's been a long long long year
 How did I get here?
