James

Well hello, my name is James

Haven't we already met?

It seems we have

By this photograph

Sitting beside my bed



Tell me a little about you

Tell me a little 'bout me

Old bits and pieces

With wrinkles and creases

Are all of my past, I see



But I remember I was a Marine

They bent me into machine

And then spit me out

Shipped me back south

Involuntarily



Well hello, my name is James

I don't believe I caught yours

I used to be great at faces and things

But they don't stick like before



There's a woman out there in the hallway

The prettiest thing I have seen

And it makes no sense

But she'd pass for the twin

Of the girl I gave my class ring



I remember my GTO

I'd race it down Rabbit Trail Road

But I gave that up

When I had a pup

He'd be about your age or so



Well hello, my name is James

Haven't we already met?

It seems we have
