[Verse 1]
Three streets off the grid, we were barely kids
But we were old enough to drink in Louisiana
We listened to "The King Must Die"
"On the Willows" drank the wine
That we could afford from the work study manna
[Pre-Chorus]
We were young, but not that young
To be cutting our fingers and mixing our blood
Climbing the fence of the St. Louis cemetery
We caught on my heart’s desire
Big as the 1788 fire
When you put on "Little Queenie"
And bring me another whiskey
[Chorus]
Elizabeth, the last I heard you're in Savannah
You got married after art school happily
I don't want to look you up, I'm pretty sure it's just enough
That I remember you fondly
[Verse 2]
I didn't have a car, but I did have a guitar
And I played to my advantage when you let me
I only stayed two years, but it still appears
That after all this time the memories still get me
Three streets off the grid, we were barely kids
But we were old enough to drink in Louisiana
We listened to "The King Must Die"
"On the Willows" drank the wine
That we could afford from the work study manna
[Pre-Chorus]
We were young, but not that young
To be cutting our fingers and mixing our blood
Climbing the fence of the St. Louis cemetery
We caught on my heart’s desire
Big as the 1788 fire
When you put on "Little Queenie"
And bring me another whiskey
[Chorus]
Elizabeth, the last I heard you're in Savannah
You got married after art school happily
I don't want to look you up, I'm pretty sure it's just enough
That I remember you fondly
[Verse 2]
I didn't have a car, but I did have a guitar
And I played to my advantage when you let me
I only stayed two years, but it still appears
That after all this time the memories still get me
