He broke down in Denver, she was dancin' downtown
Stopped in his tracks when he saw her
Movin' to the Motown Sound
They'd grown up together, runnin' round the playground
Trailer park kids, two of a feather
'Til she got sent to her grandma's house
And he needs an alternator, a shave and new shoes
But he'll worry about all that later
Right now there's just one thing to do
'Cause they got matching tattoos, when they were just fifteen
So he walks up, taps her shoulder, and rolls up his sleeve
What took so long? Where ya been?
I've been missin' you, my old friend
I don't know where we went so wrong
I am broken, I am bent, I was stupid and I got spent
It's so good seeing you again
So who can say where love lives, in the suburbs or strip clubs
But night turns into day, weeks turn into months
They go on dates to Dairy Queen, two meals for ten bucks
She's smilin' again, he's not worried about fixin' up that truck
What took so long? Where ya been?
I've been missin' you, my old friend
I don't know where we went so wrong
I am broken, I am bent, I was stupid and I got spent
It's so good seeing you again
They sit on the porch, each afternoon
Singin' each other love songs, a little out of tune
What took so long? Where ya been?
I've been missin' you, my old friend
I don't know where we went so wrong
I am broken, I am bent, I was stupid and I got spent
It's so good seeing you again
