Lyrics:
SniderI came in off a dead end streetWalked in slow and took a back row seatI knew I had nothing new to say.So many people looked so burned outI couldn't help feeling badAbout just having to be there anyway.A friend of a friend from work came inI never had known what to make of himHe'd always seemed to be so insincere to me.You know I've always been afraid of a 12 step crowdThey laugh too much and talk too loudLike they all know where everyone should be.It's been a long long long yearIt's been a long long long yearHow did I get here??They were talking in a circle, I was by myselfEveryone was telling everyone how they feltIt felt like so long since I'd been young.As the circle kept moving its way to the backI was wondering what I was gonna say in factI still didn't know as it rolled off my tongue.It's been a long long long yearIt's been a long long long yearHow did I get here??I didn't say a word all the way to my carBut a little later on that night at the barI was telling everybody how strange my day had been.They said?: 'Brother, all you need is another shot'So I threw one down and said thanks a lotAs I thought to myself well here we go again.It's been a long long long yearIt's been a long long long yearHow did I get here??
