Keg in the Closet

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
We had a dog named Bocephus living in the front yard He liked sleeping out on top of the car He drank beer out of a mason jar And he'd climb up on everyone in bed. A wide frame house in a college town A bunch of people always hanging around No real problems we needed to drown But we tried our best anyway. We went to class just to pass the time Back in '89. We had a keg in the closet, pizza on the floor Left over from the night before Where we were going we didn't really care We had all we ever wanted In that keg in the closet. This old guitar taught me how to score Right there on that Lambda Chi porch Mary Ann taught me a little more About wantin' what you can't have. Sweatshirts and flag football Spring breaks down in Panama For a while we had it all We never dreamed it wouldn't last. We went to class just to pass the time Back in '89. We had a keg in the closet, pizza on the floor Left over from the night before Where we were going we didn't really care We had all we ever wanted In that keg in the closet. We all kind of went our separate ways But I swear it seems like yesterday. Keg in the closet, pizza on the floor Left over from the night before Where we were going we didn't really care We had all we ever wanted In that keg in the closet...
