When I was just a little boy I asked my mother what would I be Would I be happy? ♪ It's our anniversary I leave it ajar and go outside To look at the driveway stars The crickets are chirping And they stop at my step I stop my step And they start up again It's our anniversary And the bullfrogs and everything that can sing Is singing its mating song ♪ The soil is steaming, the grass is swooning Guns or fireworks are popping down in the town A woman is running And a man jumps up and down ♪ This is our anniversary And you've hidden my keys This is one anniversary you're spending with me ♪ I slide in the front seat, the driver's side The hotwire and hightail crosses my mind But still in the driveway, fixed like the stars I flip on the headlights and go back inside The climate's controlled While the battery dies Clipping the wings of your morning flight ♪ This day will end in some form of excess Pants around ankles, too weak to fully undress It's our anniversary A celebration of And here's to next year Maybe you'll join me in my car We'll drive together But not too far ♪ We are far from flowers Cut and dried So let us thrive, thrive, thrive Just like the weeds, we curse sometimes
