Runner Ups - Kurt Vile

Hey old man how many times we gotta tell ya?

We don’t want none but where you been so long?

Hey girl come on over

That’ll be just fine

If it ain’t working take a whiz on the world

An entire nation drinking from a dirty cup

My best friend’s long gone but I got runner ups yeah

When I’m walking my head is practically dragging

Yeah and all I ever see is just a whole lot of dirt

My whole life’s been one long running gag

Two packs of red apples for the long ride home

Well you know baby

Sick of walking so you took a wrong way train

Then you sat down and couldn’t get up

My best friend’s long gone but I got runner ups yeah

My best friend’s long gone but I got runner ups

I don’t know if it’s real but it’s how I feel

Don’t know if you really came but I feel dumb in asking

You should’ve been an actress you’re so domineering

Take two white gold earrings for your troubles, ma’am

When it’s looking dark punch the future in the face

Instead of standing I’m running around

The sharpest tool in school don’t even know what’s up

My best friend’s long gone but I got runner ups, yeah
