Me and you used to be like brothers
   On the nights we got drunk to each other
   You know me, I used to have some wit
   It ended up in a shit-filled sandpit
   We come from across the border
   We drink the six mile water
   This mongrel needs a new home
   This mongrel needs a new home
  
   That time when things got better
   We'd take trips across the wire
   Like the night we took the mad acid
   Swore we saw the city hall on fire
   We come from across the border
   We drink the six mile water
   This mongrel needs a new home
   This mongrel needs a new home
  
   (la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
   (la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
   (la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
   But I'm not ready for home
  
   Bukowski Day, I'm gonna miss it
   We'd get together each month for a day
   All the memories I have are
   Decked out in Presbyterian grey
   We came from across the border
   We drank the six mile water
   This mongrel needs a new home
   This mongrel needs a new home
  
   (la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
   (la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
   (la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
   But I'm not ready for home
  
   Now, me and you don't talk of one another
   It never really started out that way
   I always meant to write you a letter
   I always meant to call you some day
   We came from across the water
   We drank the six mile water
   This mongrel needs a new home
   This mongrel needs a new home
  
   (la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
   (la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
   (la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
   But I'm not ready for home
  
   I'm sorry
   I'm sorry
   I'm sorry
   I'm sorry
