What Have I Done?

A year now and nothing much has changed

Holed up in a motel in El Paso

This was meant to be my great escape

I got lost along the way

Amongst free HBO and take out

Going to write my Moby Dick

More like scratching lyrics on paper plates

I spent the best years of my life

Waiting on the best years of my life

So what's there to write about?

What have I done? What have I done?

So is this my destiny?

From starlight into eternity

The gods must be laughing down at me

Ha, ha, ha

A traveling salesmen at twenty years old

Stranded in Ann Arbor with a flat tire

I watched the sun sadly set

Any younger, I may have wept

Much older, I wouldn't noticed

But I was out there in the world

Yeah, then the world, it passed me by

I was telling everyone back home

That I was taking it by storm

Instead, I watched it from the roadside

What have I done? What have I done?

Are these the best tales I can spin?

A boy waiting to begin

A man of no memoirs

What have I done? What have I done?

And you're young and you're gonna

You're gonna be someone

And you're old and you're

You're ashamed of what you've become

Well, take a look around you

You're preaching to the choir

Tell me darling, what have I done?

And I don't, don't know, what have I done?

What have I done? What have I done?

What have I done? What have I done?

What have I done? What have I done?

Oh, tell me darling, what have I done?

Oh, c'mon baby, now, what have I done?

Oh, what have I done? What have I done?

What have I done? What have I done?

What have I done?
