	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song after reading a novel by John Sullivan, this was also turned into a movie of the same title. Jack Nicholson, Tom Waits, Merle Streep. It won an academy award. It's about drinking way too much and the effect it can have on your relationships. This song is about 10 years old . I think I wrote it after a hard night of drinking (which I don't do anymore ). The song took about 20 minutes to write . It took one take to record as most of my stuff I don't like to do it again and again. I have a 16 track studio so I can just do it when ever I want. Most of the time It takes about a week to finnish one song. This one was recorded in the studio we call Illegitimate studio's . This was recorded live with Karl Maruyama of Colorfinger playing guitar he and I were drummer and guitar player for Art Alexakis's band Colorfinger before the Everclear shit. Lyrics Well I woke up this morning And got myself a beer And I sat down to drink it And things became oh so clear And I knew the reason why You were not here So i asked everbody You were not here And I know You wil always be And I know Your my only friend And I know You would understand That If you don't wanna Then I don't wanna I'm the stupid co dependent That let you go All I wanted anyways Was to let you be Well I went down to the corner And I got me another beer And I sat down to drink it and things became Oh so clear And I knew the reason why You were not there And I asked everybody Your not there And I know You will always be And I know Your my only friend And I know You would understand That if you don't wanna Then I don't wanna I'm the stupid co dependent That let you go All I wanted anyway Was to let you be Let you be Repeat verses the same substituting Went down to the bar as the first line for the last verse. The rest is the same.
