[00:13.86]I came in off a dead-end street
[00:16.87]I walked in slow and took a back row seat
[00:20.31]I knew I had nothing new to say
[00:26.50]So many people looked so burned out
[00:30.46]I couldn't help but feel bad about
[00:34.14]Just having to be there anyway
[00:41.05]A friend of a friend from work came in
[00:44.31]I never knew what to think of him
[00:47.94]He'd always seemed to be so insincere to me
[00:54.75]I'm always been afraid of the 12-step crowd
[00:58.14]'Cause they laugh too much and they talk too loud
[01:01.38]Like they all know where everyone should be
[01:08.00]It's been a long, long long year
[01:17.45]It's been a long, long long year
[01:28.04]How did I get here?
[01:31.83]They were talkin' in a circle, I was by myself
[01:35.50]And everyone was tellin' everyone how they felt
[01:39.19]It felt like so long since I was young
[01:44.93]The circle kept movin' on the way to the back
[01:49.33]While I was wonderin' what I was gonna say in fact
[01:52.67]I still didn't know as it rolled off my tongue
[02:00.97]It's been a long, long long year
[02:12.76]It's been a long, long long year
[02:22.59]How did I get here?
[02:26.88]So I didn't say a word all the way to the car
[02:30.48]But a little later on that night at the bar
[02:33.96]Well I was tellin' everyone how bad my life had gone
[02:39.36]They said, "Brother, all you need is another shot"
[02:43.75]So I threw one down and said "Thanks a lot"
[02:47.75]As I thought to myself, "Here we go again"
[02:54.90]It's been a long, long long year
[03:05.82]It's been a long, long long year
[03:16.08]How did I get here?
