about

Co-written with Douglas York

lyrics

I had an '88 Corolla
A twinkle in my eye
A girlfriend overseas
Who found another guy
Tell me why?

Oooowee, I stumbled over to the corner store
Bought loaded up with every box of wine
Ooowee Buck Owens on the stereo
Where did 1997 go?

Lincoln Lincoln, I’ve been thinking
Is it really true
What ol’ Sandburg wrote about how
You used got so blue?
Tell me true

Oooowee, I was so rough around the edges
Touch me and I'll cut you like a knife
Ooowee, Hank Williams on the stereo
Where did 1997 go?

Dissolving in the La-Z-Boy
Stirring up the grief
Shaking from the memories
Rinse out and repeat

I swallowed a pool courage
To call her one last time
She heard my voice, said "Konichiwa"
And cut the line
Auf wiedersehen!

Oooowee, I stumbled over to that corner store
Bought loaded up with every box of wine
Ooowee Buck Owens on the stereo
Where did 1997 go?

Oooowee, I was so rough around the edges
Touch me and I'll cut you like a knife
Ooowee, Hank Williams on the stereo
Where did 1997 go?

Please tell me: where did 1997 go?
