Dude Ranch

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus + Tom DeLonge]

I know I'm pathetic, I knew when she said it

A loser, a bum's what she called me when I drove her home

There's no more waiting and sure no more wasting

I've done all I can but she still wants to be left alone

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus + Tom DeLonge]

You got, you got, you got to help me out

And I'll try not to argue

No one, no one, no one likes a dropout

Mistakes are hard to undo

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, (Both)]

Don't pull me down, this is where I belong

I think I'm different, but I'm the same and I'm wrong

Don't pull me down, this is where I belong

I think I'm different

(This is where I belong)

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus + Tom DeLonge]

I think it's disgusting, believing and trusting

If I gave a fuck there would be nothing for me to prove

Although it's amusing, it's slightly confusing

I've done all I can but her ego is still hard to move

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus + Tom DeLonge]

You got, you got, you got to help me out

And I'll try not to argue

No one, no one, no one likes a dropout

Mistakes are hard to undo

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, (Both)]

Don't pull me down, this is where I belong

I think I'm different, but I'm the same and I'm wrong

Don't pull me down, this is where I belong

I think I'm different

(But this is where I belong)

[Outro: Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, (Both)]

Don't pull me down, this is where I belong

I think I'm different

(This is where I belong)

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]

And when the day ends I'm sure she feels sorrow

The lonely guy, I am, I wait for her to change

I've been here two days, I'll sure be here tomorrow

I'd eat her all if she were on my dinner plate

[Chorus 1: Tom DeLonge + Mark Hoppus]

And I wish

I wish she'd be more kind now

I'm out of luck 'cause the shades are pulled down

I've seen everything there is to be shown

I followed her all the way home

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]

I can't be too cool in a tree with my pants down

The air is cold and I've got splinters in my feet

She caught me once but I don't think that she cares now

Unlike before, her view is now blocked by a leaf

[Chorus 1: Tom DeLonge + Mark Hoppus]

And I wish

I wish she'd be more kind now

I'm out of luck 'cause the shades are pulled down

I've seen everything there is to be shown

I followed her all the way home

[Chorus 2: Tom DeLonge + (Mark Hoppus)]

I bet this last time's the one time too many (na na na)

The rush of waiting is burning through my head (na na na)

Right after supper her brother showers twice a week (na na na)

He kicks my ass so much, that filthy white inbred (na na na)

[Verse 3: Tom DeLonge]

I've made mistakes by looking in the wrong window

Her dad is big and I've never seen his face

I've been here two days, and I'll sure be here tomorrow

My lady's so sweet, she likes to entertain

[Chorus 1: Tom DeLonge + Mark Hoppus]

And I wish

I wish she'd be more kind now

I'm out of luck cause the shades are pulled down

I've seen everything there is to be shown

I followed her all the way home

[Chorus 2: Tom DeLonge + (Mark Hoppus)]

I bet this last time's the one time too many (na na na)

The rush of waiting is burning through my head (na na na)

Right after supper her brother showers twice a week (na na na)

He kicks my ass so much, that filthy white inbred (na na na)

(1, 2, 3, 4)

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

It's alright to tell me what you think about me

I won't try to argue or hold it against you

I know that you're leaving, you must have your reasons

The season is calling, your pictures are falling down

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]

The steps that I retrace, the sad look on your face

The timing and structure, did you hear he fucked her?

A day late, a buck short, I'm writing the report

On losing and failing, when I move, I'm flailing now

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

And it's happened once again, I'll turn to a friend

Someone that understands, and sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone, and I've been here for too long

To face this on my own, well, I guess this is growing up

[Refrain: Mark Hoppus]

Well, I guess this is growing up

[Verse 3: Mark Hoppus]

And maybe I'll see you at a movie sneak preview

You'll show up and walk by on the arm of that guy

And I'll smile and you'll wave, we'll pretend it's okay

The charade, it won't last, when he's gone, I won't come back

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

And it'll happen once again, you'll turn to a friend

Someone that understands and sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone, and you've been there for too long

To face this on your own, well, I guess this is growing up

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain: Mark Hoppus]

Well, I guess this is growing up

Well, I guess this is growing up

Well, I guess this is growing up

Well, I guess this is growing up

Well, I guess this is growing up

[Verse 1]

You don't need nothing

And I know that you won't even try

Don't wait for me to help you

It's too late for any of my advice

[Chorus]

No trust

All I got is lies

Boring

Alright

[Verse 2]

Misplaced your values

Forgot the importance of being right

Don't sit there and act humble

I've heard your story a thousand times

[Chorus]

No trust

All I got is lies

Boring

Alright

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]

Please mom, you ground me all the time

I know that I was right, all along

And I'm hoping, remember, I'm a kid

I know not what I did, just having fun

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

You couldn't wait for something new

And yesterday, I thought of you

It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away

It's too late, I fell through

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

Nothing to lose, a boy who

Went out when he finished all his chores

Nothing to do, they can't trust me

Because I blew it once before

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]

Shit dad, please don't kick my ass

I know I've seen you trashed at least one time

Can I blame it on one of my dumb friends?

It's been awhile since I have used that line

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

You couldn't wait for something new

And yesterday, I thought of you

It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away

It's too late, I fell through

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

Nothing to lose, a boy who

Went out when he finished all his chores

Nothing to do, they can't trust me

Because I blew it once before, alright!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

Nothing to lose, a boy who

Went out when he finished all his chores

Nothing to do, they can't trust me

Because I blew it once before

[Verse 1]

Watching your house shrink away in my rear-view mirror

As I drive away

Wishing that I could take back all those words

That meant nothing that I didn't say

I'm trying

To be what you want me to be

But it's so damn hard to keep playing the part

Of the fool, week after week

[Chorus 1]

I think you need some time alone (I think you need some time alone)

You say you want someone to call your own

Open your eyes, you can suck in your pride

You can live your life all on your own

[Verse 2]

Is this all going to be just another time

That we play this game?

I've tried to convince you that things could be different

But somehow they end up the same

But what

Did you expect from me? What am I supposed to do?

You say that you're starting to feel like you're getting lost

Well, I do too

[Chorus 2]

I don't want to live this lie again (I don't want to live this lie again)

I know I'll get it right but I don't know when

I'll open my eyes, I've got something inside

I'll just jack off in my room until then

[Outro]

It's never over until it's done

And I don't think that you're the one

It's never over until it's done

And I don't think that you're the one

It's never over until it's done

And I don't think that you're the one

It's never over until it's done

And I don't think that you're the one

[Verse 1]

Am I strung out, crazy, or not allowed

To be the one who gets stupid over you

Lazy, laid back, maybe you're just on crack

Why am I the one who gets fucked up and confused

[Bridge]

She doesn't care at all

She doesn't care at all

She doesn't care about those times we never shared at all

[Verse 2]

If I were the last of the few who always ask

Would you still be the same person that I knew

And if it's for me, another boring story

I swear I'll act enthused

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]

I think of awhile ago

We might have had it all

I was so stupid then

You needed time to grow

But now just as things change

As well my feelings do

In time things rearrange

I am so sick of chasing you

[Pre-Chorus: Tom]

But what do I get cause I just seem to lose

You make me regret those times I spent with you

And playing those games as I wait for your call

And now I give up, so goodbye and so long

[Chorus: Tom]

It's not a change of pace

This time I'll get it right

It's not a change of taste

I was the one there last night

[Verse 2: Tom]

You have your other friends

They were there when you cried

Didn't mean to hurt you then

Best friends just won't leave your side

[Pre-Chorus: Tom]

But what do I get cause I just seem to lose

You make me regret those times I spent with you

And playing those games as I wait for your call

Now I give up, so goodbye and so long

[Chorus: Tom]

It's not a change of pace

This time I'll get it right

It's not a change of taste

I was the one there last night

[Bridge: Tom]

When I needed you most

When I needed a friend

You let me down now

Like I let you down then

So sorry, it's over

[Outro]

[Skit: Mark Hoppus]

[Multiple women screaming]

What? It'll clear up, I promise. I got some ointment for it; the doctor says it's not infectious, it'll be gone in a week

[Women sigh in relief]

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

She didn't mean to deceive you, believe me

But sometimes the hardest part is conceiving

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

The good intentions that you had, now only came to this

And although she saw the mark, the arrow missed

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]

It isn't exciting reciting the stories

Of kind words turned hurting, when routine gets boring

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Both getting tired of punk rock clubs

And both playing in punk rock bands

The start was something good

But some good things must end

[Verse 3: Mark Hoppus]

And she said, "It could never survive with such differing lives

One home, one out on tour again"

We may never come back, the strike of a match

The candle's burning at both ends

And now she knows too much, and I'm too fucked up

It's awkward trying to make my move

I'll pretend that I'm fine, show up right on time

But I know I'll never be that cool

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

I never wanted to hold you back, I just wanted to hold on

But my chance is gone

I know just where I stand

A boy trapped in the body of a man and

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

I'll take what you're willing to give, and I'll teach myself to live

With a walk-on part of a background shot, from a movie I'm not in

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]

She's so important, and I'm so retarded

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

And now I realize, I should have kissed you in L.A

But I drove home all alone, as if I had a choice, anyway

Where are you coming from? What are you running from?

Is it so hard to see?

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]

And if you're feeling scared, remember the time we shared

You know it meant everything (Everything)

You know that it meant everything to me

You know that it meant everything to me

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

One more time you will laugh about it

And he'll never try to give you more

And I don't care, he is such a dick

Treats you like you are a stupid whore

And it seems like things will never change

You go on, every cloud is in your way

And I know you feel empty all the time

You'll never listen to anything that I say

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

She's better off sleeping on the floor

'Cause she fell right off when all

Is said, you know

It's okay to just want more

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]

Why leave when you claim it is love?

But why stay when you're not the only one?

She's proved she's strong

Be brave, be strong

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

She's better off sleeping on the floor

'Cause she fell right off when all

Is said, you know

It's okay to just want more

[Bass Solo]

[Outro: Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge]

She's better off sleeping on the floor

She's better off sleeping on the floor (Because she fell right off her bed)

She's better off sleeping on the floor

She's better off sleeping on the floor (Because she fell right off her bed)

She's better off sleeping on the floor

She's better off sleeping on the floor (Because she fell right off her bed)

She's better off sleeping on the floor

She's better off sleeping on the floor (Because she fell right off her bed)

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

Yeah, my girlfriend takes me home when I'm too drunk to drive

And she doesn't get all jealous when I hang out with the guys

She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does

She brings me Mexican food from Sombrero just because

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Yeah, just because

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]

And my girlfriend likes UL and DHC

And she's so smart and independent, I don't think she needs me

Quite half as much as I know I need her

I wonder why there's not another guy that she'd prefer

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

And when I feel like giving up

Like my world is falling down

I show up at 3 A.M., she's still up watching Vacation

And I see her pretty face, it takes me away to a better place, and

[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge + Mark Hoppus]

I know that everything, know that everything

Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

I know that everything, know that everything

Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

[Verse 3: Mark Hoppus]

Yeah, my girlfriend takes collect calls from the road

And it doesn't seem to matter that I'm lacking in the bulge

She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does

She brings me Mexican food from Sombrero just because

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

And when I feel like giving up

Like my world is falling down

I show up at 3 A.M., she's still up watching Vacation

And I see her pretty face, it takes me away to a better place, and

[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge + Mark Hoppus]

I know that everything, know that everything

Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

I know that everything, know that everything

Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

I know that everything, know that everything

Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

I know that everything, know that everything

Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge + Mark Hoppus]

I know that everything, know that everything

Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

I know that everything, know that everything

Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

I know that everything, know that everything

Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

I know that everything, know that everything

Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

[Verse 1]

I've got her in my head

At night when I go to bed

And I know it sounds lame, but

She's the girl of my dreams

And of course I'd do anything for her

I'd search the moons of Endor

I'd even walk naked through

The deserts of Tatooine

[Chorus]

Princess Leia, where are you tonight?

And who's laying there by your side?

Every night I fall asleep with you

And I wake up alone

[Verse 2]

And even though I'm not as cool as Han

I still want to be your man

You're exactly the kind of

Alderaanian that I need

But when you were available, I was

Drinking Colt 45's with Lando

I was hanging out in the cantina

On Mos Eisley

[Chorus]

Princess Leia, where are you tonight?

And who's laying there by your side?

Every night I fall asleep with you

And I wake up alone

[Instrumental Bridge]

Princess Leia

Princess Leia

[Chorus]

Princess Leia, where are you tonight?

And who's laying there by your side?

Every night I fall asleep with you

And I wake up alone

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]

Crossed the street, naked at night

Bent over to show some moonlight

Pulled out some beer and I gulped it down

Nude in a gutter is how I was found

Thrown in the police car and the door slammed

No noise, just silence, as I screamed, my dick was jammed

Now in prison for one month, no one to see

All I got is a guy Ben Dover

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

Don't like hesh, don't like rap

Kicked old Sally 'cause she's fat

I'm a jerk, I'm a punk

Took a shower 'cause I stunk

Smoked a bong, killed a cat

Had my nuts attacked by rats

Dad got nude, I wore a thong

For a hobby I make bombs

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]

Went to a farm to tip some cows

Forgot that I left my pants down

Bent over to pick them up

Felt a twelve gauge next to my hum-diddy-dum

The farmer took me to his house

Showed me the closet from the inside out

The police came, they took me away

Saw Ben Dover again and he's still gay

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

Don't like hesh, don't like rap

Kicked old Sally 'cause she's fat

I'm a jerk, I'm a punk

Took a shower 'cause I stunk

Smoked a bong, killed a cat

Had my nuts attacked by rats

Dad got nude, I wore a thong

For a hobby I make bombs

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

Don't like hesh, don't like rap

Kicked old Sally 'cause she's fat

I'm a jerk, I'm a punk

Took a shower 'cause I stunk

Smoked a bong, killed a cat

Had my nuts attacked by rats

Dad got nude, I wore a thong

For a hobby I make bombs

Ah, ah, ah, ah

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

A freight train to the right, feeling that sting of pride

It's fucking with me, it's fucking with you

All's fair in love and war until you say it isn't but you're wrong

Words on the back of flyers, my clothes are in the dryer

It means nothing, nothing is changing

La familia is dead and gone, the children grew up and moved on

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?

I'm only asking for what is mine

I wanted everything, I got it and now I'm gonna

Throw it away, I'll throw it away (yeah)

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]

Prime select and a box of glazed, pulling fly-bys on days

When we were young and innocent

Elbow-drop Sundays when Mark Eaton got beat to shit

Laughing at the bands we hate, all the spots we used to skate

Well, they're still there, but we've gone our own ways

I know it's for the best but sometimes I wonder

Will I ever have friends like you again?

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?

I'm only asking for what is mine

I wanted everything, I got it and now I'm gonna

Throw it away, I'll throw it away (yeah)

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?

I'm only asking for what is mine

I wanted everything, I got it and now I'm gonna

Throw it away, I'll throw it away (yeah)

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]

You're going to drown in the mess you make

Your self-inflicted hate

You turn your back on the friends you lose

When they don't follow all your rules

But people are what they wanna be

They're not lemmings to the sea

Maybe it's time that you looked at yourself

And stop blaming life on someone else

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over

And I know you're down, I'll see you around

And I know it hurts, but you're just getting older

And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]

Just yesterday, it always seemed like such a dream

We're unstoppable, indestructible, nothing happens to our machine

And there's no harm, at least nothing we can see

As for you, not so true

You couldn't choose where his road would lead

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]

What a loss, you just lost all your sleep

And we've always thought that this could never happen

You see that it's so hard, you gotta get up on your feet

'Cause the only way I got to say is to move on through the week

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over

And I know you're down, I'll see you around

And I know it hurts, but you're just getting older

And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over

And I know you're down, I'll see you around

And I know it hurts, but you're just getting older

And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again
