The Madden Brothers

Good Gracious Abbey

Good gracious, Abbey, what happened to you?

Emo eyelashes, that’s how I knew ya

Sorry for asking, but we were so close

Our rebellious passion, guess it outgrew ya

So now you’re on your way to your new job in the city,

You got a degree you say, cause there’s bills to pay, of course.

And you don’t like rock and roll, are you serious?

Too cool for the scene, are you serious?

Well, new friends come and go, are you serious?

Abbey, what happened?

Wake up your napping

When we were younger, our dreams were going

To California, to see the ocean

We saved our money, we quit our jobs

When they said “you’re crazy,” we said “I’ll show ya.”

So now you’re on your way to your new job in the city,

You got a degree you say, cause there’s bills to pay, of course.

And you don’t like rock and roll, are you serious?

You’re too cool for the scene, are you serious?

Well, new friends come and go, are you serious?

Abbey, what happened?

Wake up your napping

You don’t go to the shows, are you serious?

New hair, different clothes, are you serious?

Your tattoos, covered up, are you serious?

Abbey, what happened?

You were my best friend.

So while you’re on your way to your new job in the city

It’s easy to see that you still miss the way it was

And you don’t like rock and roll, are you serious?

You’re too cool for the scene, are you serious?

Well, new friends come and go, are you serious?

Abbey, what happened?

Wake up your napping.

You don’t go to the shows, are you serious?

New hair, different clothes, are you serious?

Your tattoos, covered up, are you serious?

Abbey, what happened?

You were my best friend.

You don’t like rock and roll

You’re too cool for the scene

Well, new friends come and go

Abbey, what happened?

Wake up your napping

You don’t go to the shows, are you serious?

New hair, different clothes, are you serious?

Your tattoos, covered up, are you serious?

Abbey, what happened?

You were my best friend.

Good gracious, Abbey, so good to see ya.

She walks off laughing, just like she used to.
