Lyrics
Ba ba ba da da da X4
It started back in ?69
Just a kid and feeling fine
A dog a bike a baseball bat
My mom and dad and my brother Jack
Left the school and went straight home
There?s no one there; I?m all alone
Went upstairs and found a note
And this is what my parents wrote
Be right back, we?ll be right back,
Be right back, we?ll be right back
Be right back, we?ll be right back
Be right back, we?ll be right back
Fast forward to ?83
The old apartment you and me
Grapes and vine leaves around the door
Lacy drapes and hardwood floors
Went straight home from work one day
Big night out, I just got paid
Found a note upon the bed
And this is what my boyfriend said
Be right back, I?ll be right back etc.
Jumping forward to ?95
Emergency room I?m still alive
Rib spreaders in my chest
Scalpels, forceps, a goddang mess
Rubber gloves and oxygen
My live was touch and go and then
The doctor walking out the door
She turned to me and then she swore
Be right back, I?ll be right back etc.
Here we are 2003
Electric guitars and you and me
Dancing lights, a music stage
A coffee house, its all the rage
It?s time for us to take a rest
From doing what we like the best
Been playing here since 8 p.m.
We promise we?ll be back again
Be right back, we?ll be right back etc.
